U.S. imports of cold-rolled flat-rolled stainless steel, under 600 mm wide (HS 722020) totaled $12.0M in April 2026, traded with 28 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNarrow cold-rolled stainless strip under 600 mm wide encompasses the widest range of precision-finished products in Chapter 72, from razor-blade steel (a dedicated line, 7220208000, for material under 300 mm wide, not over 0.25 mm thick) to medium-gauge strip for automotive and medical device applications. The heading's 18 active 10-digit lines segment product by width sub-band (under 300 mm vs. 300–600 mm), thickness range, and nickel content. India leads US imports, followed by Germany and Sweden, reflecting both commodity-grade and specialty alloy supply chains.

Line 7220208000 is one of the few HTS lines that classifies stainless steel by its intended end use (razor blade steel) rather than purely by physical dimensions or alloy composition. CBP guidance and Chapter 72 notes define the qualifying specifications; importers claiming this line should be prepared to document that the material meets the applicable hardness, carbon content, and surface-finish standards associated with razor-blade grade steel.
Chapter 72 covers flat-rolled steel products as defined in Note 1(k) to that chapter — products with a rectangular cross-section, rolled in a mill, and meeting specific width-to-thickness ratios. If the product has been further processed into a specific article (e.g., a formed part or a welded tube), it may shift to Chapter 73. When the product is still in strip or sheet form as imported, Chapter 72 governs, and a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for borderline cases.
