Overview
This HTS category, 7211, encompasses flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel that are less than 600 millimeters in width and are neither clad, plated, nor coated. These are fundamental forms of steel, typically delivered in coils or cut lengths, and serve as raw materials for a vast array of downstream manufacturing processes. The key defining characteristics are the material composition (iron or non-alloy steel), the form (flat-rolled), and the limited width.
Distinguishing 7211 from its sibling categories, which span a diverse range of goods from live animals to prepared foodstuffs and machinery, is straightforward. This chapter, 72, is dedicated exclusively to iron and steel products. Within Chapter 72, 7211 specifically addresses relatively narrow widths of flat-rolled steel, differentiating it from wider products found in other headings within the same chapter.
The subcategories within 7211 further refine classification based on the processing of the hot-rolled material. The distinction between "Not further worked than hot-rolled" and "Not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced)" hinges on the manufacturing process employed after the initial hot rolling. Cold rolling imparts specific mechanical properties and surface finishes. The "Other" category serves as a residual for products that do not fit neatly into the hot-rolled or cold-rolled designations but still meet the primary width and coating criteria of 7211.
