7208.37.00 - Of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm

This HTS classification, 7208.37.00, specifically covers flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel. These products are hot-rolled, not clad, plated, or coated, and are supplied in coils with a width of 600 mm or more. The defining characteristic of this category is its thickness, which must be 4.75 mm or more but not exceed 10 mm. These are typically used in applications requiring substantial strength and formability, such as construction components, automotive parts, and industrial machinery.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike 7208.36.00, which covers thicker hot-rolled coils exceeding 10 mm, or 7208.38.00 and 7208.39.00, which encompass thinner materials (3 mm to 4.75 mm, and less than 3 mm respectively), 7208.37.00 occupies a specific mid-range thickness bracket. This precise thickness parameter ensures that products are categorized according to their inherent mechanical properties and intended industrial uses.

Within this thickness range, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategories 7208.37.00.30 and 7208.37.00.60 differentiate based on material properties. 7208.37.00.30 pertains to high-strength steel, indicating enhanced mechanical performance, while 7208.37.00.60 encompasses all other steel products meeting the thickness criteria. This granular level of detail allows for precise tracking and tariff application based on the specific grade and performance characteristics of the hot-rolled steel coils.
