About HS Code 722519
This HS code encompasses flat-rolled alloy steel, at least 600mm wide, specifically non-grain oriented (NGO) silicon-electrical steel. This material is crucial for the efficient operation of various electrical devices, particularly in applications where magnetic properties need to be uniform in all directions, such as in electric motors, generators, and smaller transformers. Major importers are manufacturers in the automotive industry (for EV motors), appliance sector, and general electrical equipment production, seeking materials that minimize energy losses. Exporters are typically large, specialized steel mills with advanced metallurgical capabilities. Key considerations in trade include the specific magnetic permeability, core loss characteristics, and the impact of global energy efficiency standards on demand for these specialized steels.
Products Under This Code
Non-grain oriented electrical steel sheets, motor core laminations, generator core steel, transformer core material (NGO), electrical steel strips for motors, silicon steel for rotating machines
Real World Examples
ArcelorMittal M47, Nippon Steel HI-B, POSCO Hyper NO, ThyssenKrupp NO20, JFE Steel JNR
Common Misclassification
This code can be confused with 722619, which covers the same non-grain oriented electrical steel but in widths less than 600mm. It's also distinct from 722511, which is grain-oriented electrical steel with superior directional magnetic properties.
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.
Products Classified Under 7225.19
Industry
This code belongs to the Metals & Metal Products industry.
Trade Overview
Top importers include Germany, USA, and China, while leading exporters are Japan, South Korea, and Germany.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is HS code 722519?
HS code 722519 covers: Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, of silicon-electrical steel, (other than grain-oriented).
