Alternative Classifications

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

7225.40Lower: 10% vs 35%

If imported hot-rolled and not cold-reduced

Hot-rolled alloy steel flat products of width <600mm classify under 7225, regardless of ball-bearing end use.

7226.92Same rate: 35%

If further worked with oil coating or phosphate surface

Chemical surface treatments or coatings qualify as 'further worked' per Chapter notes, shifting to other subheadings.

7212.60.00.00Same rate: 35%

If silicon content exceeds 0.37% making it non-ball-bearing steel

Silicon levels above ball-bearing spec limits exclude from US Note (h) definition, moving to general cold-rolled alloy steel.

Import Tips & Compliance

Request supplier certification that slitting doesn't constitute 'further working' - remains cold-rolled surface condition

Check for edge burrs or deformations during import inspection; damaged edges may trigger reclassification

Maintain coil weight records as statistical suffixes may apply over certain tonnage thresholds
