Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel Coil 150mm Wide from China

Thin flat-rolled coil of grain-oriented silicon electrical steel, 0.30mm thick and 150mm wide, designed for transformer cores to minimize core losses through aligned grain structure. Classified under HTS 7226.11.9060 as grain-oriented silicon electrical steel of a width less than 300mm, not specifically provided for elsewhere. Meets alloy steel criteria with silicon content typically 2.9-3.5% for electrical applications.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming silicon content (typically 3%+), grain orientation, and alloy composition to avoid reclassification

Ensure accurate width measurement (<300mm) and thickness documentation; common pitfall is misstating as non-grain-oriented

Declare as 'not further worked' if only annealed/polished; coatings may shift to 7226.91 or 7226.99
