7209.17.00.45 - Other

This HTS category, 7209.17.00.45, specifically covers "Other" flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel that have been cold-rolled (cold-reduced) to a width of 600 mm or more, are not clad, plated, or coated, and are supplied in coils. The material must have a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm up to and including 1 mm, and it must be composed of high-strength steel that has undergone an annealing process.

This designation of "Other" distinguishes it from its sibling category, 7209.17.00.40, which pertains to advanced or ultra high-strength steels as specifically defined within the statistical note 4 of this chapter. While both categories involve cold-rolled, annealed, high-strength steel in coils within the specified thickness range, the "Other" category encompasses high-strength steels that do not meet the specific technical criteria for advanced or ultra steels outlined in the statistical note.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the precise specifications of the steel's composition and processing, ensuring it meets the criteria for high-strength steel that has been annealed and falls within the defined thickness and width parameters, while not qualifying for the more specific "advanced" or "ultra" designation.
