Alternative Classifications

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

7226.91Lower: 10% vs 35%

If further worked than cold-rolled (e.g., burnished)

Burnishing or artificial oxidation counts as further worked, per Chapter definition, moving from .10 to .30 series.

7217.10.20.00Same rate: 35%

If under 600mm but not alloy tool steel

Non-alloy cold-rolled flat products shift to Chapter 72 heading 7217 for other steel types.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include JIS SUJ2 cert with English translation proving equivalence to AISI 52100 specs

Watch for mill scale residue; excessive rust voids duty allowance per Chapter note

Separate declarations for width lots; mixed 300mm+ and under may require splitting entries
