HS Code 7225.30 – Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils
HS code 7225.30 is the 6-digit subheading for steel, alloy, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils. It is used for hot-rolled alloy steel coils, high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel coils, structural alloy steel coils, automotive chassis alloy steel and pressure vessel alloy steel coils.
What HS 7225.30 covers
This category covers hot-rolled alloy steel, flat-rolled with a width of 600mm or more, supplied in coils. This material serves as a foundational input for numerous heavy industries, including construction, automotive manufacturing, and general engineering, where it is often further processed into various components. Importers are typically re-rollers, fabricators, and large-scale manufacturers who require bulk quantities for their production lines. Exporters are integrated steel mills with significant hot-rolling capacity. Trade in these coils is highly sensitive to global economic cycles, raw material prices (like iron ore and coking coal), and often subject to trade remedies such as anti-dumping duties due to its commodity nature.

Codes often confused with 7225.30
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 720839, which covers non-alloy hot-rolled steel in coils; the key differentiator is the alloy content. It's also distinct from 722540, which describes the same material but supplied as flat sheets or plates, not in coils.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 722530, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 722530 in UN Comtrade data was Japan, with 19% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Thailand, with 15% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
