Last updated: April 2026 dataHigh-speed steel (HSS) in flat-rolled strip form narrower than 600 mm is a precision-grade material defined by its tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium alloying content, which gives it exceptional hardness retention at elevated cutting temperatures. The entire heading resolves to a single US tariff line, 7226200000, making classification straightforward but leaving duty exposure fully concentrated on that one line — including potential Section 232 steel tariff liability. Sweden and Switzerland are the leading suppliers to the US market, reflecting the concentration of HSS strip production among European specialty steel mills; Japan is also a notable source. Importers should confirm mill certifications against ASTM or equivalent HSS grade specifications before entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
High-speed steel is defined by specific minimum alloying thresholds — typically molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium combinations — that distinguish it from general alloy or tool steel. If a flat-rolled product does not meet those compositional criteria, it would fall under a different subheading such as 7226910000 or 7226920000 rather than 7226200000. Mill certifications showing chemical composition are essential documentation at entry.
Yes. Flat-rolled steel products, including high-speed steel strip under HTS 7226200000, are generally subject to Section 232 steel tariffs unless a country-specific exclusion or product exclusion applies. Importers should verify current exclusion status with a licensed customs broker before shipment, as exclusion availability changes.
