Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Stainless Steel, Not in Coils, ≥600 mm Wide, Over 10 mm Thick

Yes. Flat-rolled stainless steel falls within the scope of Section 232 measures on steel imports. However, certain countries have negotiated exemptions, quota arrangements, or alternative agreements, so the effective duty treatment depends on the country of origin. Importers should verify current Section 232 status for their specific supplier country with a licensed customs broker.

Belgium, Slovenia, and Sweden are the top three suppliers under this heading, followed by Taiwan and South Korea. European suppliers dominate, reflecting the concentration of specialty stainless plate mill capacity in those countries, though Section 232 treatment and any applicable exclusions vary by origin.
