7212.10.00.00Lower: 35% vs 37.9%

If imported as non-laminated single flat-rolled sheets

Single-layer flat-rolled steel products are classified in Chapter 72 based on width and processing, not as fabricated articles.

7318.15.20Lower: 35% vs 37.9%

If produced from steel wire rather than flat-rolled sheets

Chapter notes define 'wire' products separately; wire-based laminates shift to 7318 for steel wire articles.
