Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 721913 when importing or exporting hot-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products that are 600mm or wider and have a thickness between 3mm and 4.75mm. 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 products, contrasting with HS-6 721912, which includes cold-rolled stainless steel of the same width. If your product is cold-rolled, you’ll need to classify it differently.
The 721913 line is part of the broader 7219 heading, which encompasses various flat-rolled stainless steel products. If your product is narrower than 600mm, you would look at different subheadings under the same chapter.
When determining if 721913 applies, consider the product's width and thickness. Products that are hot-rolled and meet the specified dimensions will qualify, while those that are less than 3mm thick or wider than 4.75mm should be classified elsewhere.
