HS-6 · Subheading
720827
Iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, without patterns in relief, flat-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, pickled, of a thickness of less than 3mm
Heading 7208 — Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products of a width of 600mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 720827 when importing or exporting hot-rolled, pickled flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are at least 600mm wide and less than 3mm thick. An example would be a shipment of pickled steel coils used in automotive manufacturing.
This code specifically covers flat-rolled steel that has been pickled, meaning it has undergone a cleaning process to remove oxides and scale. In contrast, HS-6 720826 covers similar products that are not pickled, which may affect their suitability for certain applications.
The 720827 subheading is part of a broader category that includes various flat-rolled steel products. For instance, while this code applies to coils, HS-6 720829 pertains to flat-rolled products that are not in coils but still meet the width and thickness specifications.
When considering this HS-6 code, it's essential to ensure that the products meet the thickness requirement of less than 3mm, as thicker products fall under different classifications.
