HS-6 · Subheading
720915
Iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 3mm or more
Heading 7209 — Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 720915 when importing or exporting cold-rolled flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products in coils, with a thickness of 3mm or more and a width of 600mm or greater. For example, if you're shipping steel coils for automotive manufacturing, this code applies.
This code specifically covers cold-rolled flat-rolled steel in coils, distinguishing it from HS-6 720916, which pertains to similar products but with a thickness of less than 3mm. If your product is under 3mm, you need to classify it differently.
The HS-6 720915 line is crucial for businesses dealing with heavy-duty applications, such as construction or machinery, where thicker steel is required for durability. It’s important to ensure your products meet the thickness criteria to avoid misclassification.
When considering shipments, remember that cold-rolled products are known for their smooth finish and tighter tolerances, making them ideal for precision applications. If you have flat-rolled steel that is coated or plated, you would need to look at different HS codes.
