7219.32.00.45 - Of a width of 1370 mm or more

This HTS category, 7219.32.00.45, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), have a thickness of 3 mm or more but less than 4.75 mm, are not in coils, and importantly, have a width of 1370 mm or more. These are typically large sheets or plates intended for industrial applications where wider dimensions are required, such as in construction, automotive manufacturing, or large-scale fabrication projects.

The key differentiator for this specific code is the "width of 1370 mm or more." This distinguishes it from its sibling category, 7219.32.00.60, which covers similar cold-rolled stainless steel products of the specified thickness and form (not in coils), but with widths that do not meet this 1370 mm threshold. The classification hinges on whether the width meets or exceeds this specified dimension, indicating a product designed for applications requiring significantly larger surface areas.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification criteria have been narrowed down to the material (stainless steel), processing (cold-rolled), thickness (3 mm to less than 4.75 mm), form (not in coils), and the critical width specification (1370 mm or more). Importers and exporters should carefully measure and confirm the width of their stainless steel products to ensure accurate classification under this code.
