7219.12.00 - Of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm

This HTS category, 7219.12.00, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that have been hot-rolled, are in coils, and possess a thickness ranging from 4.75 mm up to and including 10 mm. These are substantial steel sheets that retain their form from the hot-rolling process, suitable for various industrial applications where strength and durability are paramount.

It's important to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike 7219.11.00, which covers thicker materials exceeding 10 mm, or 7219.13.00 and 7219.14.00 that classify thinner gauges (3 mm to less than 4.75 mm, and less than 3 mm respectively), this category precisely targets the mid-range thickness range. The specified width of 600 mm or more, as defined in the parent category, is a fundamental characteristic shared across all these hot-rolled coil siblings.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to account for the surface treatment. Subcategory 7219.12.00.02 captures products that have not undergone annealing or pickling, meaning they retain the surface characteristics inherent to the hot-rolling process. The "Other" subcategory is reserved for any other treatments or conditions not specifically enumerated, allowing for comprehensive classification of all variations of these hot-rolled stainless steel coils within the defined thickness parameters.
