Last updated: April 2026 dataCold-rolled stainless steel at 4.75 mm or greater thickness represents the heaviest gauge in the cold-rolled wide-strip category, used in demanding applications such as chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and heavy-gauge architectural cladding. Imports are subject to Section 232 steel tariffs, and the heading is subdivided into coil form (7219310010) and non-coil form (7219310050). Belgium and India are the leading US suppliers under this heading, reflecting Europe's and South Asia's established capacity in thick cold-rolled stainless production.

Cold-rolling at this gauge produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved mechanical properties compared to hot-rolled equivalents. These characteristics make it preferable for precision-fabricated components, though the process is more energy-intensive and typically commands a price premium.
Yes. Within heading 721931, coiled product is classified under 7219310010 and non-coiled (cut-length) product under 7219310050. Correct identification of the physical form at time of entry is essential to avoid misclassification.
