Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If after remelting into semi-finished billets
Post-remelting semi-finished products shift to 7224.90, no longer primary form.
If considered semi-finished hot-rolled flat product
Flat-rolled semi-finished non-alloy steel goes to 7208, based on material composition.
If tool steel alloy composition per note (e)
Meets tool steel definitions in chapter note (e), reclassified to heading 7225.
