Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 722090 when importing or exporting stainless steel flat-rolled products that are less than 600mm in width and not specifically classified elsewhere. For example, this could include stainless steel strips used in automotive applications or thin sheets for kitchen appliances.

This code is useful for products that don’t fit into more specific classifications within the 7220 heading. For instance, if you’re dealing with flat-rolled stainless steel that is not further defined, like certain types of stainless steel coils, this is the correct code.

In contrast, HS-6 722011 covers flat-rolled stainless steel products that are over 600mm wide, while HS-6 722020 pertains to those that are specifically of a certain type or grade. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper customs classification.

When shipping items under this code, ensure your documentation clearly describes the product, including its width and intended use, to avoid delays or misclassification.
