HS-6 · Subheading
722540
Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, not in coils
Heading 7225 — Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width 600mm or more
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 722540 when importing or exporting hot-rolled alloy steel flat-rolled products that are 600mm or wider, such as steel plates or sheets. For example, a shipment of hot-rolled alloy steel sheets measuring 1 meter by 2 meters would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers flat-rolled alloy steel products that are not in coils, distinguishing them from HS-6 722541, which includes similar products in coil form. If your shipment consists of alloy steel sheets rather than coils, 722540 is the appropriate classification.
Alloy steel flat-rolled products are typically used in construction, automotive, and manufacturing applications due to their enhanced strength and durability. Common examples include structural steel plates and sheets used in building frameworks.
When classifying your products, ensure they meet the width requirement of 600mm or more and confirm they are hot-rolled and not coiled. This distinction is crucial for accurate customs declarations.
