Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 721912 when importing or exporting hot-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products that are at least 600mm wide and have a thickness between 4.75mm and 10mm. For example, a shipment of stainless steel coils used in automotive manufacturing would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers hot-rolled stainless steel coils, which are typically used in construction, automotive, and industrial applications. In contrast, HS-6 721911 refers to similar products but with a thickness of less than 4.75mm, which may serve different manufacturing needs.

When classifying your product, ensure that the width and thickness meet the specified criteria. Products that do not meet the thickness requirement should be classified under other relevant HS codes. For instance, cold-rolled stainless steel products would be classified differently, such as under HS-6 721990.

Understanding the nuances of this HS-6 line is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff application. Always check the specifications of your shipment to ensure proper classification and avoid potential customs issues.
