HS Code 7225 — Large Flat-Rolled Alloy Steel Products

This code covers wide, flat alloy steel products, such as plates and sheets, with a width of 600mm or more. These are used extensively in automotive bodies, large machinery, and structural cladding.

What's included

  • Alloy steel plates in coils
  • Hot-rolled alloy steel sheets
  • Silicon-electrical steel wide sheets
  • Galvanised alloy steel flats

What's excluded

  • Stainless steel flat-rolled products → use 7219 (Stainless steel is defined by specific chromium content and has separate codes.)
  • Widths less than 600 mm → use 7226 (Narrow flat-rolled products move to a different heading.)

Common examples

  • Boron steel coil 1250mm width
  • Silicon electrical steel sheet for transformers
  • Hot-rolled alloy steel plate for pressure vessels
  • High-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel coils

Frequently asked questions

What is silicon-electrical steel?

It is a specific alloy used in transformer cores and motors, classified here if wider than 600mm.

Trade & shipping notes

  • Typical duty range: 0% - 25%
  • Documentation: Width must be clearly stated on the bill of lading.
  • Typical shipping mode: FCL
