7219.33.00.42 - Containing less than 15 percent by weight of chromium 🖩

This HTS category, 7219.33.00.42, specifically covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), have a width of 600 mm or more, are of a thickness exceeding 1 mm but less than 3 mm, and are presented in coils. The crucial defining characteristic for this particular classification is that these stainless steel products contain less than 15 percent by weight of chromium. This specification helps differentiate it from other stainless steel products that may have higher chromium content.

Within the "In coils" sub-category, this HTS code is further distinguished by the "Other" designation, particularly when compared to its sibling category, 7219.33.00.44, which also falls under "In coils" and "Other." The distinction between .42 and .44 at this level hinges on specific, unstated criteria within the "Other" classification, often relating to further processing details or specific surface finishes that are not detailed in the parent descriptions. However, since this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level relies on precisely matching the physical attributes of the imported or exported goods against the detailed textual descriptions and any explanatory notes provided by customs authorities.
