Alternative Classifications

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

7225.50.70.00Same rate: 35%

If heat-resisting alloy steel

Low carbon (<0.3%) with 4-10.5% Cr per note (g) classifies as heat-resisting, not tool steel.

7208.52.00.00Same rate: 35%

If hot-rolled rather than cold-rolled

Hot-rolled alloy steel plates shift to heading 7208, regardless of tool steel composition.

7225.40.70.00Same rate: 35%

If ball-bearing steel per note (h)

Specific ball-bearing alloy composition moves to dedicated subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit detailed alloy analysis proving tool steel status; CBP often audits high-carbon chrome steels

Declare as 'not further worked' - any coating voids this classification
