7216.40.00.50 - Other

This HTS category, 7216.40.00.50, specifically covers "Other" angles, shapes, and sections of iron or nonalloy steel that are not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded, and have a height of 80 mm or more. This designation serves as a residual category for such iron and steel profiles that do not fit into more specific subcategories within the 7216.40.00.00 heading. The key defining characteristics are the material (iron or nonalloy steel), the method of initial processing (hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded), and a minimum height of 80 mm.

Within the broader classification of angles, shapes, and sections of iron or nonalloy steel not further worked and with a height of 80 mm or more, this category differentiates itself by capturing items that are not explicitly defined as "L sections." For instance, a sibling category, 7216.40.00.10, is exclusively designated for L-shaped sections. Therefore, this "Other" category would encompass other profiles like T-sections, U-sections, or even more complex structural shapes that meet the height and processing criteria but do not conform to the L-section definition.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 7216.40.00.50 relies on the importer or exporter accurately determining that the profile is made of iron or nonalloy steel, has undergone only hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion, has a height of 80 mm or more, and does not qualify as an L-section. Examples might include hot-rolled steel T-beams or U-channels of the specified dimensions intended for construction or fabrication.
