HS Code 7226Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width of less than 600mm
6 six-digit codes · Heading 26 of 29 in Chapter 72 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7226 is the place for alloy steel strip and narrow coil, which are flat-rolled alloy steel products narrower than 600mm. Buyers also search for it as HSN code 7226 or HTS code 7226.
Goods answering to “Alloy steel flat-rolled products, of a width of less than 600mm” split into 6 six-digit codes, 722611 through 722699. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 26 of 29 in Chapter 72, Iron and steel, which runs to 167 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 7226
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 722611 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, of silicon-electrical steel, grain-oriented |
| 722619 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, of silicon-electrical steel, other than grain-oriented |
| 722620 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, of high speed steel |
| 722691 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, (excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel), hot-rolled |
| 722692 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, (excluding silicon-electrical or high speed steel), cold-rolled |
| 722699 | Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, n.e.c. in item no. 7226.9 |
What HS code 7226 covers
Traders often call these goods alloy steel strip or narrow coil. Alloy steel is steel with extra elements added on purpose to change how it behaves.
Two tests decide whether a product belongs here. The first is width: the product must be less than 600mm wide. The second is the type of steel: it must be alloy steel, not stainless and not plain non-alloy steel. If a product passes both tests, it belongs in this heading for tariff classification.
The world system stops at six digits. A national tariff may add more digits after that, so check your own country's schedule before you file.
The 6 subheadings under 7226 explained
Each subheading answers one question about the steel. The list below puts them in plain words.
- 722620: strip made of high speed steel, the kind used for cutting tools.
- 722699: the catch-all code for alloy steel strip that fits none of the codes above.
How to choose the right 7226 subheading
Work through the questions in order. The order matters, because the hot-rolled and cold-rolled codes exclude electrical and high speed steel.
- Step 1: Confirm the steel is alloy steel and the width is under 600mm.
- Step 2: Is it silicon-electrical steel? If not, use 722619.
- Step 3: Is it high speed steel? Use 722620.
- Step 4: If it is neither, ask how it was rolled. Hot-rolled goes to 722691. Cold-rolled goes to 722692.
- Step 5: If none of these fit, 722699 is the code left over.
HS 7226 vs 7225, 7220 and 7211: width and steel type
Most mistakes come from picking a neighbour. Check width first, then steel type, then shape.
Heading 7225 holds the same alloy steel flat-rolled products, but at 600mm or more. Heading 7220 holds stainless steel flat-rolled products under 600mm, so stainless strip does not go in 7226. Plain non-alloy steel under 600mm goes to 7211 when it is not clad, plated or coated, and to 7212 when it is.
Shape also changes the heading. If you cannot decide, the HS code classifier can help you narrow it down.

HS Code 7226: common questions
What products are classified under HS code 7226?
The six subheadings split them into grain-oriented electrical steel, other electrical steel, high speed steel, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and other.
What is the difference between HS 7225 and HS 7226?
Both cover flat-rolled alloy steel. Heading 7225 is for products 600mm wide or more, and heading 7226 is for products under 600mm.
Which HS code is used for grain-oriented electrical steel strip?
Use 722611 if the strip is alloy steel, less than 600mm wide, and made of grain-oriented silicon-electrical steel.
What is HS code 722620?
It is the subheading for flat-rolled alloy steel under 600mm wide that is made of high speed steel.
How do I classify cold-rolled alloy steel strip under 600mm?
Use 722692 if it is not silicon-electrical steel and not high speed steel. Those two types have their own codes.
Is stainless steel strip under 600mm classified in 7226?
No.
