Chapter 72 covers iron and steel and articles thereof, including pig iron, ferroalloys, direct reduced iron, scrap, ingots, semi-finished products, flat-rolled products, bars, wire rods, angles, sections, tubes, etc. This chapter is classified by smelting, rolling, composition, etc., and is the core chapter for classifying steel products in international trade. Heading 7219 covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, further worked, etc. Hot-rolled means rolled at high temperature without subsequent cold-rolling reduction, and the surface often carries mill scale or is pickled. Under this heading, subheadings are further divided by thickness, processing state, etc. First 2 digits 72 = Chapter for iron and steel; digits 3-4 19 = flat-rolled products of stainless steel (width 600 mm or more); digits 5-6 22 = hot-rolled, not clad, not plated or coated, of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but less than 10 mm, or of a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm and not pickled? Actually 721922 is hot-rolled stainless steel coil, of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm, or of a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm and not pickled. Note that subheading division depends on thickness and whether pickled. The goods are hot-rolled stainless steel coil, width 600 mm or more, thickness between 4.75 mm and 10 mm, or 3 mm to 4.75 mm and not pickled, meeting the description of subheading 721922. If thickness is less than 3 mm or 10 mm or more, classify under other subheadings; if cold-rolled, classify under other subheadings of 7219.

Product name: Declared commodity name should be standardized as "hot-rolled stainless steel coil" or "hot-rolled stainless steel plate"; avoid colloquial terms. Material: Fill in the stainless steel grade and chemical composition, such as 304, 316L, etc., and indicate the content of major elements such as chromium and nickel. Specifications and dimensions: Fill in thickness, width, length (for coil, indicate inner diameter and outer diameter), thickness in millimeters, width in millimeters. Processing state: Indicate hot-rolled, whether pickled, whether annealed, surface condition (e.g., black skin, pickled white skin). Use: Fill in the main use, such as for manufacturing pipes, pressure vessels, architectural decoration, etc. Brand: Fill in the manufacturer or brand; if no brand, fill in "none". Origin: Fill in the country (region) of origin, such as Japan, South Korea, China, etc. Coil/plate: Clearly state the form as coil or cut-to-length plate; for coil, provide coil weight. Product name: hot-rolled stainless steel coil; Material: 304 stainless steel (Cr18Ni8); Specifications: thickness 6.0 mm, width 1500 mm, coil inner diameter 508 mm; Processing state: hot-rolled, not pickled, black skin; Use: for manufacturing chemical equipment; Brand: TISCO; Origin: China; Form: coil. Inaccurate thickness declaration, such as mistakenly reporting 4.75 mm as 4.7 mm, leading to subheading error. Not indicating whether pickled, which is key to distinguishing subheadings such as 721922 and 721923. Mistakenly declaring cold-rolled products as hot-rolled to evade possible trade measures. Declaring width less than 600 mm, which may lead to classification under other headings. Incorrect material grade, such as writing 304 as 304L, affecting classification.

Core basis for classification: 1. Material is stainless steel, meeting Chapter 72 notes; 2. Width 600 mm or more; 3. Hot-rolled and not further cold-rolled; 4. Thickness range meets the description of subheading 721922 (4.75 mm or more and 10 mm or less, or 3 mm or more and less than 4.75 mm and not pickled). Also need to verify whether pickled, annealed, etc., and whether it is coil. 721911 Hot-rolled stainless steel coil, thickness > 10 mm: Thickness exceeds 10 mm, classified under 721911, while 721922 thickness is 10 mm or less. 721912 Hot-rolled stainless steel coil, thickness 4.75 mm or more and 10 mm or less, pickled: Pickled, classified under 721912, while 721922 is not pickled or thickness 3-4.75 mm not pickled. 721913 Hot-rolled stainless steel coil, thickness 3 mm or more and less than 4.75 mm, pickled: Pickled and thickness 3-4.75 mm, classified under 721913, while 721922 is not pickled. 721921 Hot-rolled stainless steel coil, thickness > 10 mm, pickled: Thickness > 10 mm and pickled, classified under 721921. 721923 Hot-rolled stainless steel coil, thickness 3 mm or more and less than 4.75 mm, not pickled: Thickness 3-4.75 mm and not pickled, classified under 721923, while 721922 thickness is 4.75 mm or more or 3-4.75 mm not pickled? Note that 721922 actually is thickness 4.75 mm or more and 10 mm or less, or 3 mm or more and less than 4.75 mm and not pickled? According to HS, 721922 is thickness 4.75 mm or more but 10 mm or less, or thickness 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm and not pickled. 721923 is thickness less than 3 mm. This needs verification. According to WCO, 721922: thickness 4.75 mm or more but 10 mm or less, or thickness 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm and not pickled. 721923: thickness less than 3 mm. Therefore confused codes should be 721912, 721913, 721921, 721923, etc. Confirm whether width is 600 mm or more Confirm whether material is stainless steel Confirm whether hot-rolled and not cold-rolled Confirm whether thickness is 4.75-10 mm or 3-4.75 mm not pickled Confirm whether pickled

How to check the current import tariff rate for 721922? You can obtain MFN rate, general rate, VAT and consumption tax information through the official website of the General Administration of Customs of China, the International Trade Single Window, or by consulting the "Import and Export Tariff of the People's Republic of China". Tariff rates may change due to free trade agreements and trade remedy measures; it is recommended to rely on the latest official publication. What is the main difference between 721922 and 721912? Both are hot-rolled stainless steel coil of width 600 mm or more with the same thickness range (4.75 mm or more and 10 mm or less), but 721912 is pickled, while 721922 is not pickled (or thickness 3-4.75 mm and not pickled). Pickling affects surface condition and subsequent processing, and must be clearly declared for classification. If the thickness of hot-rolled stainless steel coil is exactly 4.75 mm, which subheading should it be classified under? According to the HS subheading structure, 721922 includes thickness 4.75 mm or more but 10 mm or less, so 4.75 mm should be classified under 721922 (if not pickled). However, note that if pickled, it is classified under 721912. It is recommended to declare to two decimal places to avoid disputes. What are the consequences of omitting "whether pickled" in declaration? It may lead to incorrect classification, thereby affecting tariff application and trade controls. If determined by customs as false declaration, it may result in tax recovery, fines, or even administrative penalties. Therefore, the processing state must be declared completely and accurately. Hot-rolled stainless steel coil that has been annealed but not pickled should be classified under 721922? Annealing is a heat treatment and does not change the hot-rolled state. If not pickled and thickness meets the criteria, it is still classified under 721922. However, if pickled after annealing, it is classified under 721912. When declaring, indicate "annealed but not pickled". Are products under 721922 subject to anti-dumping measures? Some hot-rolled stainless steel coils originating in specific countries (such as the EU, Japan, South Korea, etc.) may be subject to anti-dumping duties. The specific countries, companies, and rates involved need to be checked in announcements by the Ministry of Commerce. It is recommended to verify whether the origin and supplier are within the scope of duties before import. Does cross-border e-commerce retail import of hot-rolled stainless steel coil apply to 721922? Cross-border e-commerce retail imported goods must comply with the positive list and are usually regulated as personal items for self-use. Hot-rolled stainless steel coil is an industrial raw material and is generally not suitable for cross-border e-commerce retail import. If imported by enterprises, it should be declared under general trade and apply code 721922. How to determine whether stainless steel coil has been pickled? Pickled stainless steel has a silver-white surface without scale, while non-pickled surface has black scale. It can be checked visually or by requesting the supplier to provide processing technology certification. When declaring, fill in truthfully, and provide samples or test reports if necessary.
