Last updated: August 2026 dataThin-gauge cold-rolled stainless in the 0.5–1 mm range is a precision product used in cookware, consumer electronics housings, medical device components, and decorative trim. The US schedule subdivides this heading by nickel content, chromium level (with a specific line for material under 15% chromium), and coil versus non-coil form. Vietnam leads US imports at this gauge, with Taiwan and Spain also significant — a supplier mix that reflects both high-volume commodity production and European specialty rolling capacity.

Most standard austenitic and ferritic stainless steels contain 16%–26% chromium, so the sub-15% chromium line (7219340030) captures lower-alloy grades that may be used in specific industrial or decorative applications. Importers of these grades should confirm chromium content on the mill certificate, as misclassification into a standard stainless line could trigger incorrect duty treatment.
Coiled and non-coiled forms are classified under separate 10-digit lines within 721934. A mixed shipment must be declared on separate HTS lines with quantities and values allocated to each form. Combining them under a single line is a classification error that can result in a CBP penalty or a request for a prior disclosure.
