Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness of 1.25 mm or less
Thinner cold-rolled strips in this dimension range fall under the 7220.20.50 series.
If not stainless steel per definition
Products not meeting stainless steel criteria (typically <10.5% Cr) classify under non-stainless alloy steel headings.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-rolled
Hot-rolled bars/rods of same composition go to heading 7225, not flat-rolled 7220.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit chemical composition analysis verifying <15% Cr to prevent misclassification as austenitic stainless
• Avoid any post-rolling treatments; even light oiling may be scrutinized as chemical surface treatment
• Use precise gauge measurements for thickness to match 'exceeding 1.25 mm' criterion exactly
