7216.33.00.60 - Weighing more than 11.3 kg but not more than 27.2 kg per 30.5 cm, with a web depth measuring 203 mm to 457 mm

This HTS category specifically classifies H-shaped sections of iron or nonalloy steel that have undergone initial shaping processes such as hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion, and are intended for further manufacturing or construction. Crucially, these sections must have a height of 80 mm or more. The defining characteristics for classification within this subcategory are weight and web depth. Specifically, it covers H-sections that weigh more than 11.3 kg but not more than 27.2 kg per 30.5 cm of length, and possess a web depth ranging from 203 mm to 457 mm.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 7216.33.00.30, primarily through its specific weight and web depth parameters. The sibling category covers lighter H-sections (not more than 11.3 kg per 30.5 cm) with a generally narrower web depth range (102 mm to 356 mm). Another sibling, 7216.33.00.90, is a residual category for any H-sections that do not meet the specific criteria outlined for the other subcategories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within this level therefore hinge directly on the precise adherence to the specified weight per unit length and the web depth dimensions. Examples of goods falling here would be structural steel beams of a particular size and weight range, ready for use in building construction or heavy industrial applications, and which have not undergone any subsequent working beyond the initial hot-forming processes.
