Analysis
HTS 7209.17.00 covers of a thickness of 0.5 mm or more but not exceeding 1 mm under heading 7209 (flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The ten-digit suffixes separate “Advanced” or “ultra” of a kind… and annealed. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
