7208.39.00.30 - With untrimmed edges 🖩

This HTS category, 7208.39.00.30, specifically covers hot-rolled flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, measuring 600 mm or more in width. These products are presented in coils and have undergone no further working beyond the hot-rolling process. Critically, this classification applies only to those products with untrimmed edges. The "Other" designation at this level indicates that it encompasses a range of these hot-rolled, in-coil products meeting the specified thickness and edge condition criteria that do not fall into more specific sub-classifications.

The key distinguishing factor for this category, 7208.39.00.30, from its sibling, 7208.39.00.90 ("Other" with trimmed edges), lies solely in the condition of the edges. Products classified here possess naturally formed, untrimmed edges as a result of the hot-rolling process. In contrast, the sibling category would include similar hot-rolled coils that have subsequently had their edges mechanically processed, such as by slitting or shearing, to achieve a defined, uniform edge.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 7208.39.00.30 is on the precise physical attributes: the material composition (iron or non-alloy steel), form (flat-rolled products in coils), dimensions (width of 600 mm or more, and thickness less than 3 mm), and the specific condition of having untrimmed edges. The absence of further processing, cladding, plating, or coating is also a prerequisite for inclusion within the broader Chapter 72 and this particular heading.
