7219.23.00 - Of a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm

This HTS category, 7219.23.00, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are not further worked than hot-rolled and are not in coils. Crucially, these products must have a width of 600 mm or more and possess a thickness falling within the range of 3 mm or more, but less than 4.75 mm.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, note the precise thickness parameters. Category 7219.21.00 covers thicker materials exceeding 10 mm, while 7219.22.00 addresses thicknesses between 4.75 mm and 10 mm. Conversely, 7219.24.00 applies to products with a thickness less than 3 mm. Therefore, 7219.23.00 occupies a distinct mid-range in terms of thickness for hot-rolled stainless steel flat-rolled products.

This category is further subdivided to provide more granular classification. The subcategories, 7219.23.00.30 and 7219.23.00.60, differentiate based on the width of the product. 7219.23.00.30 applies to those with a width of 1370 mm or more, while 7219.23.00.60 encompasses all other widths not meeting this specific dimension. This allows for more precise tracking and statistical analysis of imported or exported stainless steel flat-rolled products within this thickness range.
