7208.25.60.00 - Other

This HTS category, 7208.25.60.00, encompasses flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, exceeding 600 mm in width, that have undergone hot-rolling but have not been clad, plated, or coated. Crucially, these products are supplied in coils and have a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. Furthermore, they are considered "other" in the context of this sub-heading, meaning they are not specifically classified elsewhere within the 7208.25 grouping. Their condition is limited to being "not further worked than hot-rolled, pickled," indicating that any processing beyond the initial hot-rolling and pickling (for scale removal) has not occurred.

This "Other" classification distinguishes these goods from the sibling category 7208.25.30.00, which specifically covers high-strength steel within the same parameters of hot-rolled, pickled coils with a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. Therefore, for classification under 7208.25.60.00, the steel must not meet the specific criteria for high-strength steel as defined by relevant standards or trade agreements. The absence of further working and the specific thickness threshold are key defining characteristics for items falling into this broad "other" category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. This means that any product meeting the description of flat-rolled, hot-rolled, pickled iron or non-alloy steel coils of a width of 600 mm or more, with a thickness of 4.75 mm or more, and *not* being high-strength steel, will be classified directly under this code. Examples of such products could include standard hot-rolled steel coils used in general manufacturing or construction where specific high-strength properties are not required and no further finishing beyond pickling has been applied.
