HS-6 · Subheading
722692
Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, (excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel), cold-rolled
Heading 7226 — Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width of less than 600mm
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 722692 when importing or exporting cold-rolled alloy steel flat-rolled products that are less than 600mm in width. For example, a shipment of cold-rolled steel sheets intended for automotive parts would fall under this code.
This code specifically excludes silicon-electrical steel and high-speed steel, which are classified differently. If your product is a cold-rolled alloy steel sheet but wider than 600mm, you would need to look at a different HS code.
The 7226 heading narrows down the classification to flat-rolled alloy steel products, making it essential to ensure your product meets the width requirement. Products like cold-rolled steel coils or sheets used in construction or manufacturing are typical examples.
When determining if 722692 applies, consider the end use of the product and its physical characteristics. If your product is a cold-rolled alloy steel strip used in machinery, it fits here, while hot-rolled products would not.

Questions & answers
For orientation only—the binding text is your national tariff and the WCO nomenclature your country uses.
- What types of products are classified under HS code 722692?
- HS code 722692 covers cold-rolled alloy steel flat-rolled products that are less than 600mm in width, such as sheets and strips used in various manufacturing processes.
- Does HS code 722692 include high-speed steel?
- No, HS code 722692 specifically excludes high-speed steel and silicon-electrical steel. Ensure your product does not fall into these categories.
- What is the significance of the width limit in HS code 722692?
- The width limit of less than 600mm is crucial for classification. Products wider than this should be classified under a different HS code.
- Can I use HS code 722692 for alloy steel products over 600mm?
- No, if your alloy steel product is wider than 600mm, you will need to find a different HS code that applies to wider flat-rolled products.
- How do I determine if my product is cold-rolled?
- Cold-rolled products typically have a smoother finish and tighter tolerances compared to hot-rolled products. Check your product specifications to confirm.
- What are some examples of end uses for products classified under HS code 722692?
- Products under HS code 722692 are often used in automotive parts, machinery components, construction materials, and electrical enclosures.
- Is there a specific packaging requirement for products under HS code 722692?
- While there are no specific packaging requirements for HS code 722692, it's important to ensure that the products are protected from damage during transit.
- What should I do if I'm unsure about the classification of my steel product?
- If you're uncertain, consult with a customs broker or trade specialist who can help you determine the correct HS code based on your product's specifications.
