About HS Code 720826

This category includes hot-rolled, flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, supplied in coils, with a width of 600mm or more, that have been pickled and have a thickness of 3mm or more but less than 4.75mm. The pickling process ensures a clean, descaled surface, making these coils ideal for subsequent cold rolling into thinner sheets or for direct use in various manufacturing processes. These medium-gauge pickled coils are widely used in general fabrication, agricultural equipment, medium-wall pipe production, and certain automotive components. Global trade is robust, with major steel producers in Asia and Europe exporting to diverse manufacturing sectors worldwide that require clean-surface, formable steel for their products.

Products Under This Code

Medium gauge HRPO coils, Construction profiles feedstock, Agricultural machinery components, Medium wall pipe stock, Stamping blanks, General fabrication coils

Real World Examples

ArcelorMittal HRPO coils (medium gauge), Nucor medium gauge pickled steel, Tata Steel pickled coils, Baosteel hot-rolled pickled coils

Common Misclassification

The thickness range '3mm or more but less than 4.75mm' is the key differentiator from 720825 (thicker) and 720827 (thinner), making precise measurement essential.

EU Regulatory Requirements

This product falls under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Importers to the EU must declare embedded carbon emissions and purchase CBAM certificates.
