7219.34.00.05 - Of high-nickel alloy steel

This HTS category, 7219.34.00.05, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are of a width of 600 mm or more, have undergone cold-rolling (cold-reduction), and possess a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm up to and including 1 mm. Crucially, these products must be in coil form. The defining material characteristic for this particular subclassification is that they are made of high-nickel alloy steel.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7219.34.00.00 ("Other"), by the explicit requirement that the stainless steel must be of a high-nickel alloy. While the sibling category covers other types of cold-rolled stainless steel in coils within the specified thickness and width parameters, this heading narrows the scope to those with a significant nickel content. The common parent category, "Not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced)," establishes that these products have undergone a specific manufacturing process and have not been subjected to further fabrication such as shaping or assembly.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code is on the precise adherence to all preceding criteria: flat-rolled stainless steel, width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled, thickness between 0.5 mm and 1 mm, presented in coils, and specifically composed of high-nickel alloy steel. Proper identification of the alloy composition is paramount for accurate classification under this heading.
