7219.31.00.10 - In coils

This HTS classification covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are of a width of 600 mm or more, have not been further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), and possess a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. These characteristics define a specific type of stainless steel sheet or strip produced through a cold-rolling process, resulting in precise dimensions and surface finishes, with a minimum thickness criterion to distinguish it from thinner gauges.

This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 7219.31.00.50, by the form in which the product is presented. While this category specifically covers stainless steel products "in coils," the sibling category pertains to the same type of stainless steel product but presented "not in coils," implying individual sheets or cut lengths. Therefore, the key differentiator at this level is whether the material is supplied as a continuous coil or as discrete pieces.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification terminates at this point, meaning that any product meeting all the preceding criteria – being flat-rolled stainless steel, 600 mm or wider, cold-rolled, 4.75 mm or thicker, and presented in coils – will be classified under 7219.31.00.10. Practical classification relies on verifying these physical attributes and the method of presentation.
