7219.14.00.65 - Of high-nickel alloy steel

This HTS code, 7219.14.00.65, specifically classifies flat-rolled stainless steel products that are of a width of 600 mm or more, have not been further worked than hot-rolled, are in coils, and possess a thickness of less than 3 mm. The key distinguishing feature of this subcategory is its designation as "Of high-nickel alloy steel." This implies that the stainless steel composition includes a significant proportion of nickel, which imparts specific properties like enhanced corrosion resistance, ductility, or high-temperature performance.

This category differentiates itself from its sibling, 7219.14.00.90, which covers "Other" stainless steel products meeting the same general criteria (hot-rolled, in coils, less than 3mm thickness, 600mm+ width) but lacking the specific high-nickel alloy composition. Therefore, the primary classification criterion here is the material composition, specifically the presence of a high nickel content within the stainless steel alloy.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive, relying on the precise material composition to distinguish it from other similar products. For practical classification, importers and exporters must consult their material specifications and mill certificates to confirm the high-nickel alloy content of the hot-rolled stainless steel coils they are importing or exporting.
