7219.24.00 - Of a thickness of less than 3 mm

This HTS category, 7219.24.00, specifically covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are not further worked than hot-rolled and are not in coils. The defining characteristic for this classification is the thickness of the steel, which must be less than 3 mm. These products are all of a width of 600 mm or more, aligning with the broader category of flat-rolled stainless steel.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings based on thickness. Unlike 7219.21.00, 7219.22.00, and 7219.23.00, which classify steel products with thicknesses exceeding 10 mm, or falling within specific ranges of 4.75 mm to 10 mm, or 3 mm to less than 4.75 mm, this entry exclusively pertains to the thinnest hot-rolled, non-coiled stainless steel sheets and plates under 3 mm.

Within this classification, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification based on width. Subcategory 7219.24.00.30 applies to those products with a width of 1370 mm or more, while 7219.24.00.60 covers all other products within the 7219.24.00 scope that do not meet the 1370 mm width threshold. These subdivisions allow for more granular tracking and statistical analysis of these thinner flat-rolled stainless steel products.
