7219.21.00.60 - Of a width exceeding 1880 mm

This HTS category, 7219.21.00.60, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are hot-rolled, not in coils, have a thickness exceeding 10 mm, and importantly, possess a width exceeding 1880 mm. These are substantial sheets or plates of stainless steel, processed through hot-rolling and not subsequently coiled, indicating a finished product dimension prior to further processing. The defining characteristic for this sub-classification is the significant width of the material.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under the broader heading of hot-rolled stainless steel products not in coils and exceeding 10 mm in thickness, the width is the differentiating factor. Category 7219.21.00.20 covers products with a width not exceeding 1575 mm, and 7219.21.00.40 applies to those with a width exceeding 1575 mm but not exceeding 1880 mm. Therefore, 7219.21.00.60 exclusively captures the widest of these hot-rolled, thick stainless steel products.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7219.21.00.60 is final for products meeting all the specified criteria: made of stainless steel, flat-rolled, not further worked than hot-rolled, not in coils, exceeding 10 mm in thickness, and with a width greater than 1880 mm. Importers and exporters should ensure precise measurement of the width to correctly assign goods to this classification.
