About HS Code 720827

This HS code covers 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 less than 3mm. These light-gauge pickled coils are crucial as feedstock for cold rolling mills, where they are further processed into even thinner, higher-quality cold-rolled sheets. They are also directly used in applications requiring a clean, smooth surface and good formability, such as HVAC ducting, appliance components, and light structural sections. Major steel-producing nations in Asia and Europe are key exporters, serving industries globally that require thin, clean-surface steel for a wide array of consumer and industrial goods.

Products Under This Code

Light gauge HRPO coils, Cold rolling feedstock, HVAC ducting material, Appliance components, Light structural sections, Thin hot-rolled pickled sheets

Real World Examples

JSW Steel light gauge HRPO, US Steel pickled coils for cold rolling, Baosteel thin HRPO, Hyundai Steel pickled sheet coils

Common Misclassification

Distinguishing this from 720825 and 720826 relies solely on the 'less than 3mm' thickness criterion. Accurate measurement is paramount to avoid misclassification.

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.
