HS Code 7225Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width 600mm or more
8 six-digit codes · Heading 25 of 29 in Chapter 72 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7225 is the customs heading for flat-rolled products of other alloy steel that are 600mm wide or more, often sold as alloy steel wide coil.
Heading 7225 is finely cut: 8 six-digit codes, 722511 to 722599, all of them under “Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width 600mm or more”. At that depth it is the exact wording of the code, not of the heading, that settles a classification. The heading is number 25 of 29 in Chapter 72, Iron and steel, which runs to 167 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 7225
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 722511 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, grain-oriented |
| 722519 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, (other than grain-oriented) |
| 722530 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils |
| 722540 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, not in coils |
| 722550 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled |
| 722591 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, n.e.c. in heading no. 7225, electrolytically plated or coated with zinc |
| 722592 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, n.e.c. in heading no. 7225, plated or coated with zinc (other than electrolytically) |
| 722599 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, n.e.c. in heading no. 7225, (other than plated or coated with zinc) |
What HS code 7225 covers
Flat-rolled means the steel was pressed between rollers into a flat shape. It leaves the mill as wide coils, sheets or plates. To fall under this heading, the product must be 600mm wide or more.
Alloy steel is steel with extra elements added to change how it behaves. It is not plain carbon steel, and it is not stainless steel. Stainless steel has its own headings.
Think of the path as a ladder. It starts with base metals, then moves to iron and steel, then to 7225, and finally to the subheadings below it. Buyers in India may call this the HSN code 7225. Buyers in the United States may call it the HTS code 7225. The first six digits are shared, because they come from the Harmonized System. Each country can add more digits after that for its own tariff.
How to pick the right 7225 subheading
Tariff classification at this level depends on the exact words of the six-digit code. Ask yourself three questions in order. Is the steel silicon-electrical steel? If not, was it hot-rolled or cold-rolled? Does it have a zinc coating? The codes fall into four plain groups.
- 722519 is silicon-electrical steel that is not grain-oriented, so it is the code for non-grain-oriented electrical steel.
- Cold-rolled alloy steel: 722550 is the single code for cold-rolled flat products.
- 722592 is for zinc-coated steel made by other methods. 722599 is for everything left over that has no zinc coating.
7225 vs nearby headings
Several headings sit close to 7225 and are easy to mix up. The difference is usually width, steel type or how finished the product is.
Heading 7226 covers the same kind of alloy steel, but only when the width is less than 600mm. Width is the whole test between 7225 and 7226.
If your product is stainless, it goes there and not in 7225.
Headings 7208, 7209 and 7210 cover flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel at the same width. 7208 is hot-rolled and not clad, plated or coated. 7209 is cold-rolled and not clad, plated or coated. 7210 is clad, plated or coated. They are for non-alloy steel, so alloy steel stays in 7225.
It comes before the flat-rolled stage. If you are unsure, the HS code classifier can help you check a product description.

HS Code 7225: common questions
What does HS code 7225 include?
It includes silicon-electrical steel, hot-rolled steel, cold-rolled steel, and zinc-coated or other flat alloy steel. Each type has its own six-digit code, listed in the table above.
What is the difference between HS 7225 and 7226?
Both cover flat-rolled alloy steel. Heading 7225 is for widths of 600mm or more, and heading 7226 is for widths of less than 600mm.
What is the HS code for cold-rolled alloy steel sheet?
If it has a zinc coating, check 722591 and 722592 as well.
Is stainless steel classified under 7225?
No. Flat-rolled stainless steel that is 600mm or more wide is classified under heading 7219.
How can I find importers and exporters of HS 7225?
Look up the code in the import data and export data pages. The buyer data and supplier data pages show who trades the product.
