7208.27.00.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7208.27.00.60, specifically classifies "Other" flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel. These products are hot-rolled, have a width of 600 mm or more, and are not clad, plated, or coated. Crucially, they are supplied in coils, have undergone no further processing beyond hot-rolling and pickling, and possess a thickness of less than 3 mm. The "Other" designation indicates that these products do not fall under any more specific sub-classifications within the broader category of pickled, hot-rolled coils less than 3 mm thick.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, "High-strength steel" (if present at the same level), the key differentiating factor lies in the material composition and mechanical properties. While both would fall under the umbrella of hot-rolled steel in coils less than 3 mm thick, this "Other" category encompasses all such products that do not meet the specific technical criteria or alloying elements that define high-strength steels. Classification here relies on the absence of these specific high-strength characteristics, rather than a positive identification of particular material properties.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 7208.27.00.60 is on confirming that the imported goods meet all the preceding criteria: being hot-rolled, of iron or non-alloy steel, 600 mm or wider, in coils, pickled, less than 3 mm thick, and not meeting any specific sub-classification criteria that would place them elsewhere. Examples might include general-purpose steel coils for manufacturing applications where specific high tensile strength is not a primary requirement.
