Products classified under HTS 7220.20.80.00
AISI 420 Razor Blade Steel Strip
Flat-rolled stainless steel strip certified for razor blade production, with thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm, width under 300 mm, and chromium content not over 14.7 percent by weight. It falls under HTS 7220.20.80.00 as razor blade steel, specifically not further worked than cold-rolled. This matches the legal definition for use in manufacturing safety razor blades.
13C26 Stainless Razor Blade Steel
High-carbon 13C26 stainless steel strip, cold-rolled to ≤0.25 mm thickness and <300 mm width, with controlled chromium ≤14.7% for optimal razor edge retention. Classified under HTS 7220.20.80.00 due to its certification for razor blade manufacturing. Not further worked beyond cold-reduction, matching chapter note (d).
Custom 0.10mm Razor Blade Steel Foil
Ultra-thin 0.10 mm cold-rolled stainless steel foil, width 200 mm, formulated with ≤14.7% chromium for disposable razor blades. HTS 7220.20.80.00 applies as razor blade steel per definition (d), not further worked than cold-reduced. Ideal for high-volume blade stamping.
Safety Razor Blade Steel Strip 0.15mm
Cold-rolled stainless steel strip of 0.15 mm thickness and 250 mm width, certified for safety razor blades with Cr content ≤14.7%. Fits HTS 7220.20.80.00 as defined razor blade steel, cold-reduced without further working. Provides sharpness and corrosion resistance for consumer razors.
High-Carbon 440A Razor Steel Band
440A grade stainless steel band, cold-rolled to 0.20 mm x 280 mm, with precise Cr ≤14.7% for double-edge razor blades. Under HTS 7220.20.80.00 per U.S. note (d) for certified razor blade steel. Not in coils, suitable for precision slitting.
