7219.33.00.38 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7219.33.00.38, classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are of a width of 600 mm or more. These products have undergone cold-rolling (cold-reduction) and possess a thickness exceeding 1 mm but less than 3 mm. Furthermore, they are presented in coils. The defining characteristic of this specific classification is that the stainless steel contains more than 0.5 percent by weight of nickel. This distinguishes it from other stainless steel products within the same broad subheadings.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its nickel content. While sibling categories like 7219.33.00.36 specify a narrower range of molybdenum content, this category broadly defines stainless steel coils within the specified dimensions based on a higher nickel presence. The presence of nickel is a critical factor in conferring specific corrosion-resistant and metallurgical properties to stainless steel, and its quantification is a primary determinant for correct tariff classification.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, the classification is definitive for stainless steel coils meeting all preceding criteria (flat-rolled, stainless steel, width ≥ 600 mm, cold-rolled, thickness > 1 mm to < 3 mm, in coils) and containing more than 0.5 percent nickel by weight. Proper identification of the exact nickel percentage in the material's composition is paramount for accurate classification under this HTS subheading.
