Alternative Classifications

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

7226.91.50.00Same rate: 35%

If of width 300-600 mm

Same hot-rolled ball-bearing steel but wider dimension places it in the 300-600 mm width subheading within 7226.91.

7228.70.30Same rate: 35%

If further worked than hot-rolled

Cold-rolled or worked ball-bearing steel flat products classify under heading 7228 for worked alloy steel shapes.

7213.91.30Same rate: 35%

If in coils

Hot-rolled alloy steel in coils (regardless of width) falls under heading 7213 or 7225, not straight-length 7226 products.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide detailed chemical analysis proving compliance with ball-bearing steel note (h); CBP often requests verification for 52100/100Cr6 equivalents

Measure and document exact width before rolling to confirm <300 mm; over-width shifts to broader 'other' subheadings

Avoid rust/discoloration claims at entry per Chapter 72 note—no duty allowance for pre-entry surface oxidation
