Overview
This HTS category, 7207.11.00.00, specifically covers semifinished products of iron or nonalloy steel that have a rectangular (including square) cross-section. A key defining characteristic for this classification is that the width of the cross-section must be less than twice its thickness. These are typically products that have undergone initial processing, such as casting or rolling, but require further fabrication into finished goods like bars, rods, or structural shapes.
This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its precise dimensional criteria. While 7207.12.00 also covers rectangular cross-section products, it specifically refers to those that are *not* square and do not meet the width-to-thickness ratio of this category. The sibling category 7207.19.00 encompasses any remaining semifinished iron or nonalloy steel products not otherwise specified within the 7207 chapter.
As a leaf node, this category represents a specific point in the HTS classification. There are no further subdivisions under 7207.11.00.00. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under this code is the accurate determination of the product's cross-sectional dimensions, ensuring it meets both the rectangular/square requirement and the stated width-to-thickness ratio to differentiate it from other semifinished steel products.
