HS Code 7220Stainless steel; flat-rolled products of width less than 600mm

What HS code 7220 covers

Heading 7220 is for stainless steel that has been rolled flat and is narrower than 600mm. In trade, people often call these goods stainless steel narrow coil or strip. The steel must be stainless. The product must be flat-rolled. The width must be under 600mm. If all three are true, you start your search here.

The Harmonized System is the product code list run by the World Customs Organization. Almost every country uses its first six digits. Many countries then add more digits for their own needs. India calls its version the HSN code and the United States calls its version the HTS code. Both start with 7220 for these goods.

Heading 7220 does not cover stainless bars, wire, ingots or wide sheet. Those have their own headings, which are compared further down.

How to choose the right 7220 subheading

Follow these steps in order. Check the mill certificate or the product sheet for the facts you need: how the steel was rolled, and how thick it is.

• Step 1: Was the steel hot-rolled? If yes, go to step 2. If it was cold-rolled (also called cold-reduced), use 722020.
• Step 2: Measure the thickness of the hot-rolled steel.
• Step 4: If the goods fit none of the above, use 722090. This is the catch-all code for flat-rolled stainless under 600mm that is not named elsewhere in the heading.

Difference between HS 7219 and 7220, and other close headings

Most classification mistakes happen at the edges. Two things decide the heading: the width of the flat product and the type of steel. Use this list to check the edges.

• 7220 is the same product when it is less than 600mm wide.
• 7211 is flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel under 600mm wide that is not clad, plated or coated. It is not stainless.
• It is alloy steel other than stainless.
• 7223 is stainless steel wire.
