In particular, the list of flat products is added with following positions:

  • flat-rolled products of carbon steel, 600 mm width or more, hot-rolled, unclad, without galvanic or other coating: other, hot rolled not in coils, without later processing, more than 10 mm thick: more than 15 mm thick (code – 7208512000);
