7219.11.00 - Of a thickness exceeding 10 mm

This HTS category, 7219.11.00, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are hot-rolled and supplied in coils. The defining characteristic of this category is its thickness, which must exceed 10 mm. These are substantial stainless steel products intended for applications where significant material strength and formability in a coiled state are required.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its superior thickness. For instance, while 7219.12.00 also covers hot-rolled stainless steel coils, it is limited to thicknesses between 4.75 mm and 10 mm. Categories 7219.13.00 and 7219.14.00 further differentiate based on progressively thinner gauges, highlighting that 7219.11.00 represents the thickest tier within this group of hot-rolled stainless steel coils.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist based on the width of the rolled product. Subcategory 7219.11.00.30 covers products with a width not exceeding 1575 mm, while 7219.11.00.60 encompasses those with a width exceeding 1575 mm. These distinctions are important for trade logistics and potential manufacturing processes that utilize specific width requirements for these heavy-gauge stainless steel coils.
