Okay, let's break down the HS codes for your "STAINLESS STEEL SHEET" declaration. Here's a detailed analysis to help you understand the classification, tax rates, and important considerations.
Understanding HS Codes: A Quick Primer
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are internationally standardized codes used to classify traded products. The first 6 digits are generally consistent worldwide, while additional digits are used for more specific classifications at the country level. Here's how to interpret the codes you've provided:
- Chapter 72: Iron and steel products.
- Chapter 73: Iron or steel constructions.
- Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof.
Detailed HS Code Analysis
Let's go through each code you've provided:
-
7219.90.00.10: Flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of
600 mm or more: Other Of high-nickel alloy steel- 7219: Flat-rolled products of stainless steel.
- 7219.90: Other stainless steel flat-rolled products.
- 7219.90.00.10: Specifically, high-nickel alloy steel flat-rolled products.
- Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 0.0% additional tariff, 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. Total tax: 30%.
- Note: This code is for wider stainless steel sheets with a high nickel content.
-
7220.11.00.00: Flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of less than
600 mm : Not further worked than hot-rolled: Of a thickness of4.75 mm or more- 7220: Stainless steel flat-rolled products (width < 600mm).
- 7220.11: Hot-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products.
- 7220.11.00.00: Specifically, hot-rolled stainless steel with a thickness of 4.75mm or more.
- Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 7.5% additional tariff, 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. Total tax: 37.5%.
-
7220.12.10.00: Flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of less than
600 mm : Not further worked than hot-rolled: Of a thickness of less than4.75 mm : Of a width of 300 mm or more- 7220.12: Hot-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products (thickness < 4.75mm).
- 7220.12.10.00: Specifically, hot-rolled stainless steel with a thickness less than 4.75mm and a width of 300mm or more.
- Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 0.0% additional tariff, 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. Total tax: 30%.
-
7220.12.50.00: Flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of less than
600 mm : Not further worked than hot-rolled: Of a thickness of less than4.75 mm : Of a width of less than 300 mm- 7220.12.50.00: Specifically, hot-rolled stainless steel with a thickness less than 4.75mm and a width less than 300mm.
- Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 0.0% additional tariff, 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. Total tax: 30%.
-
7220.20.10.10: Flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of less than
600 mm : Not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced): Of a width of 300 mm or more Containing more than 0.5 percent but less than 24 percent by weight of nickel: Containing more than 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent by weight of molybdenum- 7220.20: Cold-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products.
- 7220.20.10.10: Specifically, cold-rolled stainless steel with a width of 300mm or more, containing specific nickel and molybdenum percentages.
- Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 0.0% additional tariff, 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. Total tax: 30%.
-
7301.20.50.00: Sheet piling of iron or steel, whether or not drilled, punched or made from assembled elements; welded angles, shapes and sections, of iron or steel: Angles, shapes and sections: Of alloy steel
- 7301.20: Angles, shapes and sections of iron or steel.
- 7301.20.50.00: Specifically, alloy steel angles, shapes and sections.
- Tax: 0.0% base tariff, 25.0% additional tariff, 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. Total tax: 80%.
-
8484.90.00.00: Other
- 8484.90: Parts of machinery or mechanical appliances.
- 8484.90.00.00: Other parts of machinery or mechanical appliances.
- Tax: 2.5% base tariff, 25.0% additional tariff, 30% additional tariff after April 2, 2025. Total tax: 57.5%.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The HS code is heavily dependent on the exact alloy composition of the stainless steel (nickel, molybdenum, etc.). Ensure your declaration accurately reflects the material specifications.
- Dimensions: Width and thickness are critical for correct classification.
- Processing: "Not further worked than hot-rolled" or "cold-rolled" is important. Any further processing (e.g., cutting, bending, welding) could change the HS code.
- April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases scheduled for April 2, 2025.
- Certifications: Depending on the end-use of the stainless steel, you may need certifications (e.g., material test reports, origin certificates).
- "Other" Code (8484.90.00.00): This is a very broad code. If possible, try to find a more specific HS code for your product to avoid potential issues.
To help me refine the classification further, could you please provide:
- Detailed material specifications (alloy composition)?
- Exact dimensions (width, thickness)?
- What is the end-use of the stainless steel?
- What processing has been done on the steel?
