Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 720854 when importing or exporting hot-rolled flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel that are wider than 600mm and thinner than 3mm. An example would be a shipment of hot-rolled steel sheets used in manufacturing appliances.
This code specifically covers flat-rolled steel products that are not in coils and lack patterns in relief. For instance, if you have a shipment of flat sheets for construction purposes, this is the appropriate classification.
In contrast, HS-6 720852 covers similar flat-rolled products but with a thickness of 3mm or more. If your steel sheets are thicker, you would need to use that code instead.
When considering HS-6 720854, remember that it applies to products that are hot-rolled and not clad, plated, or coated. This differentiates it from other codes that may include treated or finished products.
