Overview
This HTS category, 7219.34.00.20, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that have undergone cold rolling. These products must be at least 600 mm wide and fall within a thickness range of 0.5 mm to 1 mm, presented in coils. A key defining characteristic of this classification is its specific chemical composition, requiring the steel to contain more than 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent by weight of molybdenum.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7219.34.00.25, by its precise molybdenum content. While both are flat-rolled stainless steel products meeting the width, thickness, cold-rolled, and coil requirements, and both contain over 0.5 percent nickel, category 7219.34.00.20 is narrowly defined by the specified range of molybdenum. Category 7219.34.00.25 encompasses all other stainless steel flat-rolled products within this section that do not meet the specific molybdenum criteria of 7219.34.00.20.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, classification into 7219.34.00.20 is final once all preceding criteria, including the precise molybdenum content range, are met. Importers and exporters should meticulously verify the chemical composition of the stainless steel to ensure accurate classification.
