What HS code 7211 covers
The steel is plain. Nothing is bonded, plated or painted onto its surface.
Traders often call these goods narrow strip steel or narrow steel coil. You may also see the same number quoted as the HSN code 7211 or the HTS code 7211. It is the same heading in every case.
A wider product, or one with a surface layer, belongs under a neighbouring heading. The comparison below shows which one.
HS 7211 subclassifications: hot-rolled and cold-rolled
The subheadings split by how the steel was rolled. A last code catches whatever is left.
- They differ by thickness and by rolling method.
- They differ by carbon content.
- Other: 721190, for flat-rolled steel in this width range that no other code names.
Narrow steel coil width less than 600mm: pick the right code
Work through the questions in order.
Step 1: decide if the steel is hot-rolled or cold-rolled.
Step 2 for hot-rolled steel: test 721113 first. It needs rolling on four faces or in a closed box pass, a width above 150mm, a thickness of 4mm or more, no coils and no patterns in relief. If the steel fails that test, check the thickness cut-off in the code text. Thicker steel goes to 721114. Thinner steel goes to 721119.
Step 2 for cold-rolled steel: check the carbon share by weight. Steel below the carbon limit goes to 721123. Steel at or above it goes to 721129.
Step 3: use 721190 only when nothing above fits. If you are unsure, try the HS code classifier.
Difference between 7211 and 7208, 7209, 7212, 7220 and 7226
Most mistakes happen at the edges of the heading. Check width, coating, stainless and alloy in turn.
- Width: steel 600mm wide or more leaves this heading. Hot-rolled goes to 7208, cold-rolled goes to 7209 and clad, plated or coated goes to 7210.
- Coating: narrow steel that is clad, plated or coated goes to 7212.
- Stainless: narrow flat-rolled stainless goes to 7220.
- Alloy: narrow flat-rolled alloy steel goes to 7226.
