7208.40.60 - Of a thickness of less than 4.75 mm

This HTS classification, 7208.40.60, specifically pertains to 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 presented as individual sheets or pieces (not in coils) and have undergone no further processing beyond their initial hot-rolling, with the specific characteristic of featuring patterns in relief. The defining feature for this particular sub-heading is that these rolled steel products have a thickness strictly less than 4.75 mm.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7208.40.30, by the critical thickness measurement. While both cover hot-rolled, non-alloy steel products with patterns in relief, 7208.40.30 applies to those with a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. Therefore, 7208.40.60 captures the thinner variants within this specific group of profiled, hot-rolled steel sheets.

Further subdivisions exist within this category to refine the classification based on even finer thickness gradations. The subcategories 7208.40.60.30 and 7208.40.60.60 allow for more precise identification of the goods. This granular breakdown is essential for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics, recognizing that different thicknesses can have varying industrial applications and market values.
