7211.23.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7211.23.60, specifically addresses "Other" flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel that are less than 600 mm wide, and have not been clad, plated, or coated. These products have undergone cold-rolling (cold-reduction) and contain less than 0.25 percent of carbon by weight. The "Other" designation at this level implies it covers specific types within this broad definition that are not enumerated in preceding subheadings at this four-digit level.

Within the context of "Containing by weight less than 0.25 percent of carbon," this subheading distinguishes itself from any potential siblings that might exist at this level by encompassing a broader set of "other" products. The parent category specifies that these are cold-rolled, less than 600 mm wide, and made of iron or nonalloy steel with low carbon content. This particular node serves as a catch-all for items that meet these broad criteria but do not fall into more specific classifications at higher levels.

The subcategories within 7211.23.60 further refine the classification based on the thickness of the material. These include products with a thickness exceeding 1.25 mm (7211.23.60.30), those with a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm but not exceeding 1.25 mm (7211.23.60.60), and finally, those with a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm (7211.23.60.90). This differentiation is crucial for customs purposes, as thickness is a key determinant in the trade and application of these steel products.
