7219.33.00.45 - Of a width of 1370 mm or more

This HTS category, 7219.33.00.45, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that have been cold-rolled (cold-reduced). These products fall within the group of stainless steel flat-rolled items with a width of 600 mm or more, a thickness exceeding 1 mm but less than 3 mm, and importantly, are not in coils. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its width: 1370 mm or more.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, "Other," by focusing on a specific dimensional requirement for width. While both may include cold-rolled stainless steel not in coils and within the specified thickness range, 7219.33.00.45 is exclusively for items measuring 1370 mm or wider. This narrow definition ensures that products meeting this precise width criterion are correctly identified and separated for tariff purposes, often reflecting different manufacturing processes or end-use applications compared to wider or narrower cold-rolled stainless steel.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7219.33.00.45 is final for products meeting all the preceding criteria: being flat-rolled stainless steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a width of 600 mm or more, with a thickness exceeding 1 mm but less than 3 mm, not in coils, and of a width of 1370 mm or more. Examples of such goods could include large sheets of stainless steel used in construction, industrial fabrication, or the manufacturing of large appliances.
