About HS Code 722619
This code covers non-grain oriented (NGO) electrical steel, flat-rolled with a width less than 600mm. Unlike its grain-oriented counterpart, NGO steel possesses more uniform magnetic properties in all directions, making it ideally suited for rotating electrical machines such as electric motors and generators, as well as smaller transformers. Its primary function is to reduce energy losses in these applications, contributing to overall energy efficiency. Importers are typically manufacturers of electric motors, small transformers, and various electrical appliances. Exporters are specialized steel mills. The market for this material is significantly influenced by the growth in electric vehicles, industrial automation, and the global push for more energy-efficient appliances, making it a critical component in modern electrical engineering.
Products Under This Code
Non-grain oriented electrical steel strips, motor laminations, generator core material, small transformer core steel, NGOES strips, electrical steel for EV motors
Real World Examples
ArcelorMittal M47, Nippon Steel HI-B, POSCO Hyper NO, ThyssenKrupp NO20, JFE Steel JNR
Common Misclassification
Often confused with 722611, which is grain-oriented electrical steel of the same width, due to similar material composition, but their magnetic properties and applications differ significantly. Also, 722519 covers the same material but with a width of 600mm or more.
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 7226.19
Industry
