Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel Coil 0.27mm x 150mm from China

This is a flat-rolled coil of grain-oriented silicon electrical steel with 3% silicon content, measuring 0.27mm thick and 150mm wide, designed for transformer cores. It falls under HTS 7226.11.90 as it is alloy steel containing silicon, grain-oriented for optimal magnetic properties, and under 300mm width. The grain orientation minimizes core losses in electrical applications.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates verifying silicon content (>2.5%) and grain orientation to confirm classification under silicon electrical steel

Ensure accurate width measurement (<300mm) as products 300-600mm shift to HTS 7226.11.10; measure uncoiled product

Declare exact thickness and alloy composition to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is mislabeling non-grain-oriented as grain-oriented
