Stainless Steel Hot-Rolled Flat Products, ≥600mm Wide, Under 3mm Thick, Not in Coils

At under 3 mm thick but still 600 mm or more wide and supplied in cut lengths, this thin hot-rolled stainless plate occupies a relatively narrow commercial niche — thinner gauges are more commonly cold-rolled, so hot-rolled material in this bracket often serves applications tolerating a rougher surface finish, such as certain industrial liners or semi-finished blanks for further cold reduction. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the sub-3 mm thickness boundary is a classification trigger that customs officers routinely verify. Importers should retain mill test reports documenting nominal and actual thickness to defend classification.
