Trade Compliance & Privacy Policy

HS code classification, export control, Mill Test Certificates, quality certifications and our GDPR-aligned privacy commitment — the compliance framework behind every HS-FINEB shipment.

HS Codes 7211–7226 EN 10204 3.1 MTC ISO 9001 GDPR Aligned
At a glanceHS-FINEB exports precision steel strip under standard HS headings including 7211 (cold-rolled non-alloy narrow strip), 7212 (cold-rolled non-alloy wide strip), 7225 (silicon-electrical steel) and 7226 (other alloy steel) — all indicative, with final classification confirmed by your customs broker. Commercial-grade steel is generally not export-controlled, though we comply with all applicable regulations and flag controlled items at RFQ. Every coil ships with a Mill Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1. Our management system is certified to ISO 9001. We collect only business contact data necessary to process your inquiry, do not sell it, and honor GDPR rights to access, correction and deletion.
Customs classification

HS codes for steel strip

The Harmonized System (HS) code determines duty rates and trade statistics. The correct code depends on thickness, width, alloy content and processing state.

HS headingDescriptionTypical HS-FINEB products
7211Cold-rolled iron or non-alloy steel, narrow strip (width < 600mm)SAE1078, cold-rolled strip in narrow widths
7212Cold-rolled iron or non-alloy steel, wide strip (width ≥ 600mm)Wide cold-rolled coils, SPCE deep drawing
7225Silicon-electrical steel (grain-oriented and non-oriented)50WW470 electrical steel, motor core grades
7226Other alloy steel, flat-rolled products22MnB5+AS press hardening, alloy structural grades

HS codes are indicative; actual classification depends on product specification, thickness, width, coating and processing state. Confirm with your customs broker before import declaration.

Regulatory & quality

Export control, MTC & certifications

Export control

Commercial-grade steel strip for general industrial use is typically not subject to export control. However, certain alloy compositions, specialty grades or products intended for specific end uses may be regulated. We comply with all applicable export control regulations and will flag any controlled items at the RFQ stage before order confirmation.

Mill Test Certificate (MTC)

Every coil is accompanied by an MTC reporting chemical composition, mechanical properties (tensile, yield, elongation, hardness), heat number, dimensions and inspection results. Certificates are issued to EN 10204 3.1 standard — a certificate of compliance with the order, issued by the manufacturer's authorized representative independent of production.

ISO 9001 certified management system

Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001, covering order review, raw material control, process monitoring, final inspection and document control. Certificate details are available on request. For automotive-grade material supplied to seat recliner and door lock programs, additional PPAP documentation can be coordinated.
