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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not grain-oriented (non-oriented)
Non-oriented silicon electrical steel classifies under 7226.91, as grain orientation is the key distinguisher for transformer vs motor/rotor use.
If width of 600 mm or more
Chapter 72 width threshold of 600 mm separates narrow strip products (7226) from wider flat-rolled products (7225).
If thickness exceeds 0.25 mm
Thicker grain-oriented silicon electrical steel (>0.25 mm but ≤3 mm) falls under 7226.11.90.60, changing statistical reporting.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying silicon content, grain orientation, and alloy composition to confirm classification as silicon electrical steel
• Ensure accurate thickness measurement documentation, as exceeding 0.25 mm shifts to other subheadings within 7226.11
• Declare width precisely; products 300 mm or wider fall under 7226.11.90.60, potentially altering duty rates
