Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further worked (e.g., coated or polished)
Any surface treatment like coating or polishing moves it to heading 7222 for worked stainless bars and rods.
If not certified for razor blade use
Lacks specific certification, defaults to other cold-rolled stainless steel shapes under 300 mm.
If width <600 mm but not stainless
Non-stainless cold-rolled steel strips go to 7219, changing chapter due to alloy composition.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit entry documents with end-use certification specifying razor blade application to comply with U.S. note (d)
• Measure width and thickness precisely post-cold-rolling; tolerances can trigger reclassification
• Retain chemical analysis certificates proving Cr ≤14.7% to distinguish from higher chromium stainless grades
