HS-4 · Heading
7219 — Stainless steel; flat-rolled products of width of 600mm or more
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7219 when importing stainless steel flat-rolled products that are 600mm or wider. For example, if you're bringing in hot-rolled stainless steel coils thicker than 10mm, this is the code you'll need.
Choosing the right subheading under HS-4 7219 depends on the thickness and form of the product. For instance, if your shipment consists of hot-rolled stainless steel coils that are 4.75mm to 10mm thick, you'll classify it under HS-6 721912.
If you're dealing with flat-rolled products not in coils, you might look at HS-6 721921 for thicknesses exceeding 10mm. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper classification and compliance.
Additionally, cold-rolled products are categorized separately. For cold-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products thicker than 4.75mm, use HS-6 721931. Ensure you know the thickness and form to select the correct code.
