Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If heat-resisting alloy steel
Low carbon (<0.3%) with 4-10.5% Cr per note (g) classifies as heat-resisting, not tool steel.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-rolled
Hot-rolled alloy steel plates shift to heading 7208, regardless of tool steel composition.
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
