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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness exceeds 0.25 mm
Thicker cold-rolled stainless steel strips under 300 mm wide fall into the general thickness category, not specific razor blade steel.
If not stainless steel
Non-stainless flat-rolled steel of similar dimensions goes to Chapter 72 heading 7219 for cold-rolled products.
If of a width of 300 mm or more
Wider cold-rolled stainless steel sheets shift to the broader width category within the same heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide certification at entry confirming use in razor blade manufacture and chromium ≤14.7% to qualify under this subheading
• Verify exact thickness ≤0.25 mm and width <300 mm; slight exceedance shifts to other 7220 codes
• Include mill test reports showing stainless steel composition to prevent disputes over alloy status
