Flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated
32 declarable lines
Heading 7208 covers flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, 600 mm or more wide, hot-rolled and not clad, plated or coated. The heading splits first between coils and not in coils, then by patterns in relief, pickling, thickness, and high-strength steel for coils.
Products in this heading
- Hot-rolled steel sheet in coils
- Pickled hot-rolled steel coil
- Hot-rolled steel plate not in coils
- Universal mill plate
- Checkered hot-rolled steel plate
- High-strength hot-rolled steel coil
- Hot-rolled steel sheet with untrimmed edges
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the product is iron or nonalloy steel, 600 mm or more wide, hot-rolled, and not clad, plated or coated.
- Determine whether the goods are in coils or not in coils.
- For coils, check pickled status, thickness band, and high-strength steel versus other steel.
- For not in coils, check patterns in relief and thickness; for over 10 mm, distinguish universal mill plate and high-strength steel.
- Check statistical note 4 status for "advanced" or "ultra" high-strength steel in under 3 mm coil lines.
Often confused with
- Heading 7209Cold-rolled steel sheet in coils
Heading 7208 covers hot-rolled products only; cold-reduced flat products go to 7209.
- Heading 7210Zinc-coated hot-rolled steel sheet
Clad, plated or coated flat products are excluded from 7208.
- Heading 7211Hot-rolled steel sheet 500 mm wide
Heading 7208 requires a width of 600 mm or more.
- Heading 7219Hot-rolled stainless steel sheet
Heading 7208 covers iron or nonalloy steel, not stainless steel.
- Heading 7225Hot-rolled other alloy steel sheet
Other alloy steel flat products of 600 mm or more go to 7225.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for pickled hot-rolled steel coil?
For pickled hot-rolled steel in coils of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more, use 7208.25.30.00 for high-strength steel or 7208.25.60.00 for other, both at the general (MFN) rate of Free.
What is the duty on hot-rolled steel plate not in coils?
The general (MFN) rate is Free for the declarable lines in this group, such as 7208.51.00.60 for other plate over 10 mm and 7208.52.00.00 for plate 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm.
How do I classify checkered hot-rolled steel sheet?
For checkered hot-rolled steel in coils, use 7208.10.30.00 for thickness 4.75 mm or more or 7208.10.60.00 for thickness less than 4.75 mm, at the general (MFN) rate of Free. For not in coils, the thickness splits use 7208.40.30.30, 7208.40.30.60, 7208.40.60.30, and 7208.40.60.60, all at the general (MFN) rate of Free.
