Overview
This HTS category, 7210.50.00.90, specifically addresses flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel that have been plated or coated with chromium oxides or with both chromium and chromium oxides. These products are further defined by their width, being less than 1050 mm. This detailed specification ensures that only steel coils or sheets meeting these precise dimensional and coating criteria are classified here.
While the parent categories establish the broad scope of plated or coated flat-rolled steel, and a preceding category (7210.50.00) might cover similar coatings with a different width specification, this subcategory isolates products within a specific width range (under 1050 mm). This distinction is crucial for tariff differentiation and accurate trade statistics, as different widths can imply varying manufacturing processes and end-use applications.
As this node represents a "leaf" in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7210.50.00.90 relies solely on confirming that the imported or exported article is indeed flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel, plated or coated with chromium oxides or chromium and chromium oxides, and measures less than 1050 mm in width. Exclusions would typically involve similar products with different base metals, alternative plating materials, or exceeding the specified width.
