Type 304 Hot-Rolled Stainless Steel Coil 3.5mm Thick 1500mm Wide

This is a hot-rolled coil of Type 304 austenitic stainless steel, measuring 3.5 mm thick and 1500 mm wide, not subjected to any further working beyond hot-rolling. It falls under HTS 7219.13.00.31 because it is flat-rolled stainless steel, 600 mm or more in width (specifically 1370 mm or more), in coils, with thickness between 3 mm and 4.75 mm, and 'other' category. Commonly used in heavy industrial fabrication.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7219.12.00Same rate: 35%

If thickness under 3 mm

Thinner hot-rolled stainless coils shift to 7219.12, as thickness determines subheading within not-further-worked hot-rolled coils.

7220.11.00.00Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If not stainless steel but alloy steel meeting high-strength criteria

Non-stainless alloy steels with minimum yield points per note (a) classify under Chapter 72 heading 7220, not 7219.

7219.23.00.30Same rate: 35%

If cold-rolled instead of hot-rolled

Cold-rolled stainless steel coils fall under 7219.23, as rolling method changes the primary heading from hot-rolled (7219.1) to cold-rolled (7219.2).

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify exact thickness (3-4.75mm) and width (≥1370mm) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification to thinner or narrower subheadings

Confirm 'not further worked' status—no polishing, coating, or cladding allowed; provide surface inspection documentation

Avoid rust/discoloration claims as no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes; inspect coils pre-entry
