7211.19 - Other:

This HTS category, 7211.19, encompasses flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel that are less than 600 mm in width and have not undergone any further processing beyond hot-rolling, such as cladding, plating, or coating. The "Other" designation signifies that these products do not fit into more specific subcategories within the "not further worked than hot-rolled" grouping. Crucially, these are distinct from universal mill plate (7211.13.00.00), which is produced on a universal mill, and from other hot-rolled products with a thickness of 4.75 mm or more (7211.14.00), which are differentiated by their thickness.

The scope of 7211.19 is defined by the absence of specific characteristics or dimensions that would place it in a sibling category. For example, it includes hot-rolled flat-rolled products that are not universal mill plate and are either thinner than 4.75 mm or possess other characteristics not covered by the thickness-specific sibling. The classification hinges on the product's form, material, and the degree of processing.

This category further subdivides to distinguish between products based on their width. The subcategory "Of a width of less than 300 mm" captures those narrower than this specified dimension, while the "Other" subcategory accommodates those that are 300 mm or wider but still less than the overall 600 mm limit, provided they meet the general criteria for this section. These distinctions are important for precise tariff application.
