HTS heading 7226 is a broad product category for flat-rolled products made of alloy steel other than stainless steel, where the product’s width is less than 600 mm. “Flat-rolled” generally means steel supplied in flat strip, sheet, or narrow-band form, rather than bars, wire, or a three-dimensional finished article. The heading can cover products with different alloy compositions, thicknesses, finishes, and manufacturing conditions.
To select the specific 8-digit HTS code, first confirm that the steel belongs in heading 7226 and then follow the subheading structure. The relevant distinctions may include the alloy steel’s material characteristics, whether it is electrical steel or another type, whether it is coated or otherwise worked, its thickness or width, and how it is presented. Read the complete statistical code description and the applicable section and chapter notes; do not choose a code based only on a product name or a partial heading description.
What to check
- Confirm the product is flat-rolled alloy steel, is not stainless steel, and has a width below the heading’s stated threshold.
- Collect the mill specification, including chemical composition, grade, thickness, width, coating or surface treatment, and whether the steel is electrical or another specialized type.
- Check whether the product is supplied in coils or cut lengths and whether it has been further worked, such as coated, plated, perforated, or otherwise processed.
- Compare the product facts with every level of the HTS hierarchy and read the full 8-digit description, chapter notes, and relevant legal notes.
- Ask a customs broker or request a formal classification ruling when the alloy composition, processing, or intended use creates uncertainty.

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.
