7208.52.00.00 - Of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm

This HTS classification, 7208.52.00.00, pertains to flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel that have been hot-rolled and are not clad, plated, or coated. Specifically, these products are characterized by their dimensions: they must have a width of 600 mm or more, and their thickness must be between 4.75 mm and 10 mm, inclusive. The goods are delivered in a form other than coils and have undergone no further processing beyond the hot-rolling stage.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, consider the precise thickness of the steel. While 7208.51.00 covers products exceeding 10 mm in thickness, and 7208.53.00.00 includes those between 3 mm and 4.75 mm, and 7208.54.00.00 deals with thicknesses less than 3 mm, this specific node exclusively encompasses steel products with thicknesses falling within the 4.75 mm to 10 mm range. This precise thickness parameter is the critical differentiator.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive based on the material (iron or non-alloy steel), the form (flat-rolled, not in coils), the processing (hot-rolled, not clad, plated, or coated), the width (600 mm or more), and the specific thickness range (4.75 mm to 10 mm). Importers and exporters should ensure all these criteria are met to correctly apply this HTS code.
