7226 - Flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm:

Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

HTS code 7226 encompasses flat-rolled products made from "other alloy steel" with a width measuring less than 600 millimeters. This category specifically addresses alloy steels that do not fall under the more precisely defined categories of high-speed steel or silicon electrical steel within the broader Chapter 72. The "other alloy steel" designation is crucial, meaning these products contain significant amounts of alloying elements beyond iron and carbon, intentionally added to impart specific properties such as increased strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, or heat resistance, distinguishing them from ordinary carbon steels.

When classifying goods within this section, it is important to differentiate 7226 from other sibling categories at the same level, such as those pertaining to live animals or other chapters of the HTS that cover entirely different material types. Within Chapter 72, the distinction from other flat-rolled products of steel lies in both the alloy composition and the specified width. For instance, if the flat-rolled product is made of high-speed steel, it would be classified under 7226.20.00.00, and if it is silicon electrical steel, it would fall under a separate, more specific subheading.

The subcategories under 7226 allow for further refinement based on the specific type of "other alloy steel" used. The presence of a "Of silicon electrical steel" subheading indicates that while 7226 covers "other" alloy steels, a specific type of alloy steel used primarily for its magnetic properties in electrical applications is addressed separately for detailed classification. Similarly, "Of high-speed steel" denotes a distinct, highly specialized alloy steel characterized by its ability to retain hardness at high temperatures, which is also provided its own classification. The "Other" subheading serves as a catch-all for any remaining flat-rolled products of alloy steel, less than 600 mm wide, that do not fit into these more specific alloy steel sub-classifications.
