Last updated: April 2026 dataUltra-thin cold-rolled stainless steel under 0.5 mm is a specialty product requiring advanced rolling technology, used in precision shims, flexible electronics substrates, fuel cell components, and high-end cutlery blanks. The heading's 10-digit lines distinguish nickel content bands and chromium levels, with a separate line for non-coiled material. Italy and France are among the leading suppliers alongside Vietnam and Taiwan, reflecting European mills' established expertise in foil-gauge stainless rolling.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Rolling stainless steel below 0.5 mm requires Sendzimir or cluster mills capable of very high rolling forces with precise gauge control, along with specialized annealing and surface-finishing lines. Fewer mills globally operate at this gauge, which is why European producers such as those in Italy and France remain competitive despite higher labor costs.
Yes. Within heading 721935, lines 7219350005 and 7219350015 apply to coiled material with nickel content over 0.5% but under 24%, while 7219350030 covers material under 15% chromium, and 7219350035 is the NESOI coil line. Non-coiled material falls under 7219350050. The mill test certificate's nickel and chromium values are the controlling documents for line selection.
