Overview
This HTS classification, 7218.99.00.60, specifically identifies semi-finished products of stainless steel that are not in ingots or other primary forms, and are not otherwise specified within the broader stainless steel categories. The defining characteristic of this particular subcategory is that these stainless steel products possess a cross-sectional area equal to or exceeding 232 square centimeters. This measurement is crucial for distinguishing it from other similar items.
The key differentiator for this category lies in its precise cross-sectional area measurement. It is distinct from its sibling, 7218.99.00.45, which covers similar semi-finished stainless steel products but with a cross-sectional area *less than* 232 square centimeters. Therefore, the exact measurement of the product's cross-section is the sole criterion for determining which of these two classifications applies.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification ends at this point based on the defined criteria. The items falling under this heading are typically produced through processes like casting or rolling and are intended for further manufacturing into finished stainless steel goods, such as structural components or large-scale machinery parts.
