7219.13.00.81 - Other

This HTS category, 7219.13.00.81, specifically classifies "Other" flat-rolled products of stainless steel. These are hot-rolled, in coils, and fall within a thickness range of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm. This "Other" designation indicates that the products do not fit into more specific sub-classifications within this particular branch of the tariff schedule. Essentially, it acts as a residual category for stainless steel coils meeting the specified hot-rolling and thickness criteria, but not defined by other specific characteristics such as nickel content.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Containing more than 0.5 percent but less than 24 percent by weight of nickel." While both are hot-rolled stainless steel coils with a thickness between 3 mm and 4.75 mm, the sibling category is defined by a precise range of nickel content. This current category (7219.13.00.81) applies to those products that either contain no nickel, or contain nickel outside of the specified range defined by the sibling.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of a product within 7219.13.00.81 relies on confirming it meets all the preceding criteria: being flat-rolled stainless steel, hot-rolled, in coils, with a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm, and not fitting into any more precisely defined classifications at this or higher levels, particularly concerning specific chemical compositions like nickel content.
