7216.33.00.30 - Weighing not more than 11.3 kg per 30.5 cm, with a web depth measuring 102 mm to 356 mm

This HTS category, 7216.33.00.30, specifically classifies H-section beams of iron or nonalloy steel that have undergone hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion processes. These are structural sections, further worked than basic forming, with a specific web depth and weight characteristic. The goods covered are characterized by weighing not more than 11.3 kilograms per 30.5 centimeters of length, and possessing a web depth that measures between 102 millimeters and 356 millimeters. These dimensions and weight criteria are crucial for distinguishing these particular H-sections from other similar steel products.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its precise weight and web depth specifications. It differentiates from sibling category 7216.33.00.60, which covers H-section beams that are heavier, weighing more than 11.3 kg but not more than 27.2 kg per 30.5 cm, and have a larger web depth ranging from 203 mm to 457 mm. It also stands apart from the residual category 7216.33.00.90, which serves as a catch-all for H-sections that do not meet the specific criteria outlined in the more granular classifications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, meaning that any H-section beam of iron or nonalloy steel, further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded, falling within the specified weight and web depth parameters, will be classified under this code. The focus for classification here is strictly on the physical attributes of the steel section itself, making precise measurement and weighing essential for accurate customs declarations.
