Overview
This classification, HTS 7219.13.00.51, specifically covers flat-rolled stainless steel products. These products are characterized by their hot-rolled finish, are supplied in coils, and possess a thickness ranging from 3 mm to less than 4.75 mm. Critically, these steel products must contain more than 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent by weight of molybdenum.
The defining characteristic that separates this subcategory from its sibling, 7219.13.00.71 (Other), lies in its precise molybdenum content. While both fall under the broader category of stainless steel coils with specific dimensions and a nickel content between 0.5% and 24%, this particular subcategory is designated for those where the molybdenum content falls within the specified narrow range. This specificity is crucial for accurate tariff application based on elemental composition.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 7219.13.00.51 relies solely on meeting all the preceding criteria: being flat-rolled stainless steel, hot-rolled in coils, of the specified thickness, with a nickel content within the defined range, and most importantly, containing between 1.5% and 5% by weight of molybdenum. Typical examples would include certain grades of specialized stainless steel used in demanding industrial applications where enhanced corrosion resistance or high-temperature strength is required due to the molybdenum addition.
