HS-6 · Subheading
720918
Iron or non-alloy steel; in coils, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of less than 0.5mm
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 720918 when importing or exporting cold-rolled iron or non-alloy steel flat-rolled products in coils, with a thickness of less than 0.5mm. For instance, a shipment of steel coils used in automotive manufacturing would fall under this code.
This code specifically targets flat-rolled products that are not clad, plated, or coated, distinguishing them from similar products like HS-6 720917, which covers thicker materials. If your product is 0.5mm or more in thickness, you would classify it differently.
Cold-rolled steel in this category is often used in applications requiring precise dimensions and a smooth finish, such as in the production of appliances or furniture. Understanding the thickness and form is crucial for proper classification.
When shipping, ensure your documentation accurately reflects the product specifications, including the coil's thickness and width, to avoid delays in customs clearance.
