AISI 304 Stainless Steel Cold-Rolled Strip 0.5mm Thick
Cold-rolled flat-rolled stainless steel strip of AISI 304 grade, width 250 mm, thickness 0.5 mm, containing approximately 8-10.5% nickel and 18-20% chromium. Not further worked beyond cold-rolling, this product falls under HTS 7220.20.70.15 due to its stainless steel composition, width under 300 mm, thickness between 0.25 mm and 1.25 mm, and nickel content over 0.5%. Commonly used for precision stamping in appliance manufacturing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness ≤0.25 mm
Thinner stainless steel strips in this width range fall under the separate thickness subheading within the same cold-rolled category.
If not stainless steel (chromium <10.5%)
Flat-rolled steel without sufficient chromium for stainless classification moves to Chapter 72 non-stainless headings.
If further worked (e.g., coated or polished)
Any surface treatment beyond cold-rolling like polishing or coating per Chapter notes classifies as 'further worked' in a different subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify exact chemical composition including nickel >0.5% and chromium content via mill test certificate to confirm stainless steel classification
• Measure and document width (<300 mm) and thickness (0.25-1.25 mm) precisely, as exceeding limits shifts to adjacent subheadings
• Avoid claims for rust/discoloration allowances per Chapter 72 notes; ensure proper packaging to prevent surface issues before entry
