Overview
This HTS classification covers semi-finished products of stainless steel that are not in ingots or other primary forms, and are of a rectangular (other than square) cross-section. Specifically, these products are characterized by having a width that is at least four times their thickness. This precise dimensional ratio is a key distinguishing factor for this category.
It is crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, "Having a width less than four times the thickness." The classification hinges entirely on the measurement of the width relative to the thickness. For instance, a stainless steel flat bar with a cross-section of 50mm width and 10mm thickness would fall under this category (50mm is 5 times 10mm), whereas a product with a 30mm width and 10mm thickness would belong to the sibling category.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within this specific HTS code will therefore be based solely on confirming that the product is indeed semi-finished stainless steel with a rectangular (non-square) cross-section and meets the width-to-thickness ratio of at least four to one. Examples of such products could include certain types of stainless steel strips or sheets intended for further processing.
