7219.12.00.06 - Of high-nickel alloy steel

This HTS category, 7219.12.00.06, 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 to 10 mm, with the additional defining characteristic of being of high-nickel alloy steel. This precise combination of rolling method, form, thickness, and alloy composition is critical for its distinct classification within the broader category of hot-rolled stainless steel coils.

The "Other" designation at this level implies that these particular high-nickel alloy steel products do not fall into any more specific sub-classifications within the 4.75 mm to 10 mm thickness range. It serves to capture all remaining stainless steel flat-rolled products meeting the hot-rolled coil and thickness criteria that are not otherwise itemized, provided they are of high-nickel alloy steel. This ensures comprehensive coverage of such materials.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus is on the definitive criteria that place goods within this classification: stainless steel, hot-rolled in coils, with a thickness between 4.75 mm and 10 mm, and crucially, composed of a high-nickel alloy. Examples of such products would include specific grades of stainless steel known for their high nickel content, used in demanding applications where enhanced corrosion resistance and/or strength at elevated temperatures are required.
