Overview
This HTS category, 7219, specifically classifies flat-rolled products made from stainless steel. To fall within this heading, the material must meet two key criteria: it must be stainless steel, and it must have a width of 600 millimeters or more. This encompasses a broad range of stainless steel sheets, plates, and strips used in various industrial and commercial applications where the corrosion resistance and aesthetic properties of stainless steel are paramount.
Within the broader context of Section XV, which deals with base metals and articles thereof, and Chapter 72, dedicated to iron and steel, heading 7219 distinguishes itself by focusing exclusively on flat-rolled stainless steel products of a significant width. It is differentiated from other steel classifications that might cover different forms (e.g., bars, wires, tubes), non-stainless steel alloys, or flat-rolled products below the specified width threshold.
Heading 7219 is further subdivided to account for variations in the manufacturing process and finish of the flat-rolled stainless steel. The subcategories address whether the material has undergone hot-rolling (either in coils or not in coils) or cold-rolling (cold-reduction). This distinction is crucial for classification as it relates to the material's physical properties, tolerances, and intended end-uses. An "Other" category is also provided for stainless steel flat-rolled products of 600 mm or more in width that do not fit into the more specific processing descriptions.
