Alternative Classifications

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

7226.92.30Same rate: 35%

If coated or further worked (e.g., insulated)

Chapter 72 defines 'further worked' to include coatings, moving products from basic rolled steel (7226.11) to processed categories.

7226.11.90.60Same rate: 35%

If width 300 mm to 600 mm

Statistical suffixes distinguish narrow (<300 mm) vs medium width grain-oriented GOES within the same thickness range.

7212.60.00.00Same rate: 35%

If silicon content too low for electrical grade

Non-alloy or low-silicon flat-rolled products classify under Chapter 72 heading 7212, lacking silicon electrical steel specs.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include core loss test data in entry docs to substantiate electrical steel classification per US additional notes

Avoid rust/discoloration claims, as Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry surface damage

Label as 'not further worked' if only rolled; any coating pushes to 7226.92 subheadings

Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel Coil 0.23mm x 250mm

Thin flat-rolled coil of grain-oriented silicon electrical steel with 3% silicon content, measuring 0.23 mm thick and 250 mm wide, designed for transformer core laminations. Classified under HTS 7226.11.9030 due to its alloy steel composition, grain-oriented structure, width under 300 mm, and thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm. The silicon enhances electrical resistivity and minimizes core losses in magnetic applications.

Hi-B Grain-Oriented Steel Strip 0.20mm x 150mm

High-permeability (Hi-B) grain-oriented silicon electrical steel strip, 0.20 mm thick and 150 mm wide, used in distribution transformer cores for superior magnetic efficiency. HTS 7226.11.9030 applies to this alloy steel product due to its precise thickness ≤0.25 mm, grain-oriented silicon electrical characteristics, and width <300 mm.

0.18mm Conventional Grain-Oriented GOES Coil 290mm Wide

Ultra-thin 0.18 mm conventional grain-oriented silicon electrical steel coil, 290 mm width, for efficient power and distribution transformers. Matches HTS 7226.11.9030 criteria: alloy steel, silicon electrical, grain-oriented, <300 mm width, thickness not over 0.25 mm.
