7208.25 - Of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more:

This HTS category, 7208.25, encompasses flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel that are hot-rolled, not clad, plated, or coated, and have a width of 600 mm or more. Specifically, it covers products that are in coils, have undergone further hot-rolling and pickling, and possess a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. These are substantial steel products intended for further processing or direct use in various industrial applications.

Distinction from sibling categories is primarily based on the thickness of the steel. Unlike 7208.26, which covers steel between 3 mm and 4.75 mm thick, or 7208.27, which includes steel less than 3 mm thick, this category strictly applies to steel that meets or exceeds the 4.75 mm thickness threshold. This thicker gauge often implies applications requiring greater structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.

Within 7208.25, further subclassification is provided to distinguish between different types of steel based on their properties. The subcategory 7208.25.30.00 addresses products specifically designated as "high-strength steel," indicating enhanced mechanical properties. The remaining products that do not meet the criteria for high-strength steel fall under the "Other" subcategory, 7208.25.60.00, covering standard hot-rolled steel of this thickness.
