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.
