Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ball-bearing steel per note (h)
Specific C/Cr/Si composition for bearings moves to dedicated ball-bearing heading.
If of razor blade steel specs
Thin stainless <0.25mm x <23mm for razors per note (d) has separate subheading.
If fully made into knives
Completed knives from this steel classify under Chapter 82 hand tools.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Element analysis prevents misclass to ball-bearing steel (note h) with strict Ni limits
• Entry must specify 'flat-rolled'; ambiguity leads to bar/rod scrutiny
• Rust protection critical—no duty relief for pre-entry corrosion
