7219.21.00 - Of a thickness exceeding 10 mm

This HTS classification covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are 600 mm or wider. Specifically, these products have undergone hot-rolling but have not been further worked or coiled. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the thickness of these stainless steel flat-rolled products exceeds 10 mm.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specified thickness. Sibling categories 7219.22.00, 7219.23.00, and 7219.24.00 cover products with progressively thinner dimensions, ranging from 4.75 mm up to 10 mm, and down to less than 3 mm, respectively. Therefore, products classified here are significantly thicker than those in the other hot-rolled, non-coiled stainless steel categories.

Further subdivisions exist for products within this thickness range. Subcategory 7219.21.00.05 specifically addresses those made from high-nickel alloy stainless steel. The remaining products, not meeting the high-nickel alloy criterion, are categorized under the "Other" designation. This ensures accurate classification based on material composition beyond just the physical dimensions and processing method.
