HTS heading 7225 is a broad product category for flat-rolled products made of alloy steel other than stainless steel, with a width of at least 600 mm. “Flat-rolled” generally means steel supplied as sheet or plate, rather than bar, rod, wire, tube, or a three-dimensional fabricated article. The heading can include products supplied in coils or as cut lengths, depending on the subheading structure and product specifications.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the product’s objective characteristics and follow the heading’s subheadings. These commonly distinguish the steel by alloy or material type, whether it is grain-oriented or otherwise specially made, whether it is coated or plated, and other physical or manufacturing features. Confirm the required width, thickness, coil or sheet form, edge condition, coating, and technical grade against the HTSUS descriptions and relevant legal notes. If the classification is uncertain, obtain customs-broker or other qualified classification advice.
What to check
- Confirm that the product is flat-rolled alloy steel, not stainless steel or a different steel product, and verify that its width meets the heading’s threshold.
- Collect the mill specification or certificate showing the chemical composition, alloying elements, grade, thickness, width, and production method.
- Check whether the product is in coils or cut to length and whether it is coated, plated, clad, heat-treated, grain-oriented, or otherwise specially processed.
- Read every subheading and any applicable Chapter 72 notes in sequence; do not choose an 8-digit code based only on a commercial name such as “steel sheet.”
- Compare the classification with the product’s invoice, packing list, technical data sheet, and customs entry description, and ask a customs professional about ambiguous cases.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.

What products fall under HTS heading 7225?
Flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more. To classify a specific item you must pick the matching sub-category and 8-digit code above; the right choice usually depends on the material and construction of the product.
How do I choose the right code within this category?
