7211.13.00.00 - Universal mill plate

This HTS category, 7211.13.00.00, specifically covers universal mill plate of iron or nonalloy steel. These products are characterized by their flat-rolled form, a width under 600 mm, and are not clad, plated, or coated. The "universal mill plate" designation signifies that these products are typically finished on universal rolling mills, which allows for the production of plates with precise dimensions and a good surface finish, often without further mechanical processing.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it is important to note that 7211.13.00.00 is distinct from other "not further worked than hot-rolled" products within the 7211.1 series. Specifically, it is not categorized under 7211.14.00, which covers other hot-rolled products of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. Similarly, it does not fall under the broader "Other" category of 7211.19. The defining characteristic here is the specific production method and the resulting product type: universal mill plate.

As a leaf node, 7211.13.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on meeting all the outlined criteria: being flat-rolled, of iron or nonalloy steel, less than 600 mm in width, not clad, plated, or coated, and specifically manufactured as universal mill plate, not further worked than hot-rolled. This ensures that only products fitting this precise description are classified here.
