Alternative Classifications

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

7220.20Same rate: 35%

If thickness of 1.25 mm or less

Thinner cold-rolled strips in this dimension range fall under the 7220.20.50 series.

7212.50.00.00Same rate: 35%

If not stainless steel per definition

Products not meeting stainless steel criteria (typically <10.5% Cr) classify under non-stainless alloy steel headings.

7225.11.00.00Same rate: 35%

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
