Use HS-6 722020 when importing or exporting cold-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products that are less than 600mm wide. For example, if you're shipping stainless steel sheets or strips used in kitchen appliances, this code applies.
This code specifically covers cold-rolled stainless steel products, distinguishing them from hot-rolled products under HS-6 722011. Cold-rolled items typically have a smoother finish and tighter tolerances, making them suitable for applications requiring precision.
