CHAPTER

72Iron and steel

In plain English

This category covers flat-rolled alloy steel products that are narrower than 600 millimeters. The items are separated based on their specific steel type, distinguishing between grain-oriented silicon-electrical steel, other silicon-electrical steel, and high-speed steel. For other types of alloy steel, the classification further divides the goods by their manufacturing process, identifying those that are hot-rolled versus those that are cold-rolled. Any remaining alloy steel flat-rolled products not listed in the previous categories fall into the final group.

7226.20

Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, of high speed steel

7226.91

Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, (excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel), hot-rolled

7226.99

Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, n.e.c. in item no. 7226.9

Chapter 72 classification notes

Chapter 72 covers significant Section 232 (US) tariff items; trade in raw steel attracts safeguard duties in many destinations.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

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

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
