Overview
This HTS category, 7209.27.00.00, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel that are cold-rolled (cold-reduced). These products must be of a width of 600 mm or more, not clad, plated, or coated, and not in coils. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its thickness, which must be 0.5 mm or more but not exceeding 1 mm. This precise thickness range differentiates it from other cold-rolled, non-alloy flat-rolled steel products.
To understand its placement, consider its siblings. Products with a thickness of 3 mm or more fall under 7209.25.00.00, while those exceeding 1 mm but less than 3 mm are classified under 7209.26.00.00. Conversely, any product with a thickness less than 0.5 mm would be found in 7209.28.00.00. This node therefore captures a very specific segment of cold-rolled flat-rolled steel based on its dimension.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this particular HTS code. Classification stops at this level of specificity regarding material type, form, width, and thickness for cold-rolled, non-alloy flat-rolled steel. Therefore, any product meeting all the preceding criteria and falling within the 0.5 mm to 1 mm thickness range will be classified here. Examples include sheets or plates used in various manufacturing processes where this particular thickness is critical.
