Flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of less than 600 mm
24 declarable lines
Heading 7220 covers flat-rolled stainless steel products that are less than 600 mm wide. It is split first by whether the steel is hot-rolled or cold-rolled, then by thickness and width, and finally by chemical content such as nickel, molybdenum and chromium levels. All lines in this heading carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.
Products in this heading
- Cold-rolled stainless steel strip coils under 600 mm wide
- Razor blade steel in narrow cold-rolled strip
- Stainless steel shim stock in thicknesses under 0.25 mm
- Hot-rolled stainless steel strip 4.75 mm and thicker
- Narrow stainless steel coil for springs and cutlery parts
- High-nickel alloy steel strip for chemical equipment
- Cold-reduced stainless strip 300 mm or wider for stamping
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the metal is stainless steel, not iron, nonalloy steel or another alloy steel.
- Confirm the width is less than 600 mm.
- Decide whether the product is hot-rolled (7220.11 or 7220.12) or cold-rolled (7220.20 or 7220.90).
- For hot-rolled, check whether thickness is 4.75 mm or more, then whether width is 300 mm or more.
- For cold-rolled under 300 mm, check thickness bands of over 1.25 mm, 0.25 to 1.25 mm, and not over 0.25 mm, then the nickel, molybdenum and chromium content.
Often confused with
- Heading 7222Stainless steel bars and rods
Bars and rods are long products, not flat-rolled.
- Heading 7219Stainless steel flat-rolled sheet or coil 600 mm or wider
Width of 600 mm or more moves the product out of 7220.
- Heading 7226Flat-rolled products of other alloy steel under 600 mm
Only stainless steel belongs in 7220.
- Heading 7211Flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel under 600 mm, not coated
Nonalloy steel is classified in chapter 72 nonalloy headings.
- Heading 7218Stainless steel ingots and semifinished products
Primary and semifinished forms are not flat-rolled products.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for cold-rolled stainless steel strip 300 mm or wider?
It falls in subheading 7220.20.10 and the line depends on chemistry. For example, 7220.20.10.60 covers cold-rolled strip 300 mm or wider containing less than 15% by weight of chromium, at a general (MFN) rate of Free.
What is the duty on hot-rolled stainless steel strip under 600 mm wide?
The general (MFN) rate is Free. Hot-rolled product of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more is 7220.11.00.00, and hot-rolled product under 4.75 mm with a width of 300 mm or more is 7220.12.10.00.
How do I classify razor blade steel in narrow strip?
Razor blade steel that is cold-rolled, under 300 mm wide, and not over 0.25 mm thick is classified in 7220.20.80.00. The general (MFN) rate for that line is Free.
