Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. exports of Stainless Steel Cold-Rolled Flat Products, ≥600mm Wide, 3mm to <4.75mm Thick (SITC 67552) totaled $7.0M in August 2026.
Importers of Stainless Steel Cold-Rolled Flat Products, ≥600mm Wide, 3mm to <4.75mm Thick paid $1.0M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 25.88% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Stainless Steel Cold-Rolled Flat Products, ≥600mm Wide, 3mm to <4.75mm Thick imports of $4.8M in August 2026 ran 48% above the year-to-date monthly average of $3.3M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCold-rolled stainless flat in the 3 mm to 4.75 mm thickness band and at least 600 mm wide is a commercially significant product for manufacturers of kitchen equipment, pharmaceutical processing vessels, architectural panels, and transportation components, where the improved surface finish and tighter gauge tolerance of cold rolling justify the additional processing cost over hot-rolled alternatives. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the 3 mm lower bound is a classification boundary shared with the hot-rolled stainless schedule, making the rolling method — not just thickness — a critical classification determinant. Mill test reports confirming cold-reduction practice and final annealing condition are standard documentation for this product.

Cold rolling produces a smoother, more uniform surface — typically a No. 2B or 2D finish after annealing and pickling — compared to the rougher descaled surface of hot-rolled plate. This matters for hygienic applications (food, pharma) where surface roughness affects cleanability, and for architectural applications where appearance is specified. Buyers often specify finish designation alongside thickness and width.
Both hot-rolled (67535) and cold-rolled (67552) stainless flat share the same width and thickness range. Misclassification can result in underpayment or overpayment of duties and may trigger a CBP penalty. The rolling method must be confirmed by the mill test report; if the document is ambiguous, importers should seek a binding ruling before filing entry.
