7219.34.00 - Of a thickness of 0.5 mm or more but not exceeding 1 mm

This HTS category, 7219.34.00, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are of a width of 600 mm or more and have been cold-rolled (cold-reduced). The defining characteristic for this particular sub-classification is the thickness of the material, which must be 0.5 mm or more but not exceeding 1 mm. These are essentially sheets or strips of stainless steel, processed to achieve precise dimensions and surface finish through cold rolling, and falling within a specific thickness range.

To understand its placement, consider its sibling categories within the "Not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced)" group. Unlike categories covering thicker materials (7219.31.00, 7219.32.00, 7219.33.00) or significantly thinner materials (7219.35.00), this code focuses exclusively on the intermediate thickness range of 0.5 mm up to and including 1 mm. This precise thickness differentiation is crucial for accurate customs declarations.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification. The primary distinction is between products presented in coils and those presented not in coils. The subcategory "7219.34.00.50" specifically addresses stainless steel flat-rolled products of the defined thickness range that are *not* in coils, meaning they are typically cut into individual sheets or lengths. This distinction can impact inventory management, transportation, and end-use applications.
