Hot-Rolled Alloy Steel Strip for Automotive Springs
Hot-rolled flat-rolled alloy steel strip, less than 300 mm wide and under 4.75 mm thick, not further worked beyond hot-rolling. Classified under HTS 7226.91.80.00 due to its alloy steel composition, narrow width, and hot-rolled state without additional processing like cold-rolling or coating.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness of 4.75 mm or more
Thicker hot-rolled alloy steel strips fall into the separate thickness subheading within the same hot-rolled category.
If cold-rolled instead of hot-rolled
Cold-rolled products, even if otherwise identical, are classified under the cold-rolled heading 7226.92.
If not alloy steel but carbon steel
Non-alloy steel versions shift to Chapter 72 carbon steel headings like 7211 for hot-rolled products.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify alloy steel composition meets Chapter 72 definitions; provide mill test certificates confirming non-stainless alloy elements
β’ Measure width precisely before entry as <300mm is critical; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to reclassification
β’ No duty allowance for rust or discoloration per Chapter 72 notes; ensure proper packaging to avoid claims denial
