Hot-Rolled 304 Stainless Steel Plate 12mm Thick
This is a flat-rolled plate of 304 stainless steel, hot-rolled to a thickness of 12 mm and width of 1500 mm, not further worked beyond hot-rolling and not in coil form. It falls under HTS 7219.21.00.20 as it meets the criteria for stainless steel products over 10 mm thick, width not exceeding 1575 mm, and not further worked than hot-rolled. Commonly used in industrial fabrication requiring corrosion resistance.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cold-rolled instead of hot-rolled
Cold-rolled stainless steel plates shift to 7219.22 as 'not further worked than cold-rolled' heading, even if otherwise similar specs.
If alloy steel with tool steel elements per note (e)
Tool steels with specific high carbon/chromium content defined in Chapter 72 note (e) classify under Chapter 72.5 instead of stainless steel provisions.
If thickness of 4.75mm to 10mm
Thinner hot-rolled stainless plates (≥600mm width) fall under 7210.70, as thickness threshold determines the specific subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify stainless steel composition meets Chapter 72 definitions and provide mill test certificates confirming grade and no further working beyond hot-rolling
• Ensure accurate measurement of thickness (>10mm) and width (≤1575mm) with documentation to avoid misclassification to thinner gauges
• Watch for rust or discoloration; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes—inspect thoroughly before entry
