Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 721911 when importing or exporting hot-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products that are 600mm or wider and exceed 10mm in thickness. For example, a shipment of hot-rolled stainless steel coils used in construction or manufacturing would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to products like large coils of stainless steel sheets, often used in the automotive or aerospace industries. In contrast, HS-6 721912 covers similar flat-rolled products but with a thickness of 10mm or less.
When dealing with stainless steel flat-rolled products, it’s essential to differentiate between hot-rolled and cold-rolled. While HS-6 721911 is for hot-rolled items, HS-6 721913 pertains to cold-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products of the same width.
Ensure that your product meets the thickness requirement of over 10mm and is hot-rolled. If your product is cold-rolled or thinner, you will need to look at other relevant HS codes.
