Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7222.30.00Same rate: 35%

If clad, coated, or polished

Chapter 72 defines 'further worked' to include cladding/coatings, moving out of hot-rolled 7222.19.

7506.20Lower: 12.5% vs 35%

If nickel content dominates (superalloy)

Nickel-based alloys like true Inconel classified in Chapter 75, not stainless steel Chapter 72.

7228.80.00Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If heat-resisting steel per U.S. Note 72(g)

Specific low-carbon, high-chromium alloys defined as heat-resisting steel go to 7228.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy remains 'stainless steel' (10.5%+ Cr); high-Ni may tempt 72.25 superalloy classification

Document hot-extruded state; any cold drawing shifts to 7222.40 or 7225

Aerospace end-use may trigger ITAR—check export controls beyond tariff
