7219.33.00.05 - Of high-nickel alloy steel

This HTS category specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that have undergone cold rolling (cold-reduced). These products are characterized by their thickness, which is greater than 1 millimeter but less than 3 millimeters. Furthermore, they are supplied in coils and have a width of 1370 millimeters or more. The crucial defining characteristic for this subcategory is that the stainless steel is of a high-nickel alloy composition.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Other," is essential. The "Of high-nickel alloy steel" designation mandates that the material composition of the stainless steel meets specific criteria for nickel content, differentiating it from stainless steels with other alloying elements or lower nickel proportions. This distinction is critical for accurate tariff assessment, as different alloy compositions can be subject to varying trade policies or duties.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification within this HTS code is on precisely identifying products that meet all the outlined criteria: flat-rolled, stainless steel, cold-rolled, of the specified thickness range, supplied in coils, of the defined width, and crucially, composed of a high-nickel alloy steel. Examples of such products could include certain grades of stainless steel sheeting used in demanding industrial applications or specialized manufacturing where high nickel content is a required property.
