CHAPTER

72Iron and steel

In plain English

This heading covers flat-rolled stainless steel products that are less than 600 millimeters wide. The items are divided based on their manufacturing process and thickness. Some products are hot-rolled, with further distinctions made for those that are 4.75 millimeters thick or thicker versus those that are thinner. Other products are cold-rolled, while any remaining stainless steel flat-rolled items of this width fall into a separate category for goods not specified elsewhere.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Stainless vs. carbon steel — chemistry-based; alloy content determines heading.

Classification certainty
