7219.22.00.15 - Of a width not exceeding 1575 mm

This HTS category, 7219.22.00.15, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that have undergone hot rolling but are not in coils. The defining characteristic for this particular code is that the material's width does not exceed 1575 mm. These products fall under the broader group of stainless steel flat-rolled items with widths of 600 mm or more, a thickness between 4.75 mm and 10 mm, and contain more than 0.5 percent nickel and 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent molybdenum by weight.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the width of the flat-rolled product. While 7219.22.00.15 covers widths up to 1575 mm, sibling categories address wider dimensions: 7219.22.00.20 applies to widths exceeding 1575 mm but not exceeding 1880 mm, and 7219.22.00.25 covers widths exceeding 1880 mm. Therefore, precise measurement of the product's width is crucial for accurate classification within this group.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, meaning that any product meeting all the preceding criteria (stainless steel, flat-rolled, not further worked than hot-rolled, not in coils, width 600 mm or more, thickness 4.75 mm to 10 mm, nickel content > 0.5%, molybdenum content > 1.5% but < 5%, and width not exceeding 1575 mm) will be classified under 7219.22.00.15.
