More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled into flat products not in coils
Rolling slabs into sheets/plates moves to heading 7219 for flat-rolled stainless products.
If of square/round cross-section >80mm
Square or round semi-finished sections have dedicated subheadings separate from 'other' flat-ish forms.
If made into alloy steel tubes
Fabrication into finished tubes classifies under tubes/pipes heading 7304, not semi-finished steel.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit precise chemical analysis proving duplex composition (PREN >35); avoid surface treatments that trigger 'further worked' reclassification; check country-specific quotas on stainless semi-products
