HS-6 · Subheading
722519
Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, (other than grain-oriented)
Heading 7225 — Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width 600mm or more
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 722519 when importing or exporting flat-rolled products made from silicon-electrical alloy steel that are 600mm or wider. For example, if you’re shipping rolls of silicon steel used in transformer cores, this is the correct classification.
This code specifically covers flat-rolled alloy steel products that are not grain-oriented, distinguishing them from HS-6 722511, which pertains to grain-oriented silicon steel. Understanding this difference is crucial for accurate tariff application and compliance.
Products under this classification are often used in electrical applications, such as motors and generators, where magnetic properties are essential. If your shipment consists of sheets or coils of silicon steel for these purposes, 722519 is the right choice.
When considering similar products, be aware that HS-6 722590 covers other alloy steel flat-rolled products that may not fit the specific criteria of silicon-electrical steel. Ensure you check the product specifications to avoid misclassification.
