304 Stainless Steel Cold-Rolled Strip 0.5mm Thick from China

Cold-rolled flat strip of 304 stainless steel, 0.5 mm thick and 250 mm wide, not further worked beyond cold reduction. This falls under HTS 7220.20.70 due to its stainless steel composition, width under 300 mm, thickness between 0.25 mm and 1.25 mm, and lack of additional surface treatments like polishing or coating. Commonly used in precision stamping for small components.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming stainless steel grade, exact thickness, and width measurements to verify classification under 7220.20.70

Ensure documentation proves no further working like polishing or coating has occurred, as this shifts to subheadings like 7220.40

Watch for alloy composition; if it meets tool steel definitions per Chapter 72 notes, it may require reclassification
