HS-6 · Subheading
720851
Iron or non-alloy steel; (not in coils), flat-rolled, of a width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, without patterns in relief, of a thickness exceeding 10mm
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 720851 when importing or exporting hot-rolled flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products that are over 10mm thick and at least 600mm wide. For example, a shipment of steel plates used in construction would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers flat-rolled steel products that are not in coils and have no patterns in relief. If you have hot-rolled steel sheets that are 12mm thick and 1 meter wide, you would classify them under 720851. In contrast, HS-6 720852 applies to similar products that are clad, plated, or coated.
When considering HS-6 720851, remember that it excludes thinner products or those with a width of less than 600mm. If your product is 8mm thick or only 500mm wide, you would need to look at different HS codes, such as 7208 for thinner flat-rolled products.
