U.S. imports of flat-rolled stainless steel, 600 mm or more wide, not elsewhere specified (HS 721990) totaled $4.3M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHeading 721990 functions as the residual category for wide flat-rolled stainless steel that does not fit the hot-rolled or cold-rolled thickness bands covered by headings 721911–721935 — capturing products such as polished, coated, or otherwise surface-treated stainless sheet, as well as certain annealed-and-pickled forms. The six 10-digit lines segment the heading by nickel and molybdenum content, mirroring the alloy-composition logic used throughout Chapter 72. Taiwan leads US imports here, with France and South Korea also notable sources.

Products that are neither purely hot-rolled nor cold-rolled in the conventional sense — such as annealed-and-pickled plate, bright-annealed strip, or stainless sheet with a surface coating or treatment applied after rolling — may fall here if they do not meet the specific processing definitions of the preceding headings. Classification should be confirmed against the Chapter 72 notes and, if uncertain, via a CBP binding ruling.
The 10-digit lines in 721990 follow the same nickel and molybdenum thresholds used in headings 721931–721935: separate lines for high-nickel grades, molybdenum-bearing alloys (1.5%–5% Mo), other grades over 0.5% nickel, and low-nickel material. Importers familiar with alloy-based classification in the cold-rolled headings will find the same chemical breakpoints apply here.
