7219.34.00.30 - Containing less than 15 percent by weight of chromium

This HTS category, 7219.34.00.30, specifically covers flat-rolled stainless steel products that are not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), are of a thickness between 0.5 mm and 1 mm inclusive, and are supplied in coils. Crucially, these stainless steel products must contain less than 15 percent by weight of chromium to fall within this classification. The "Other" designation within this sub-grouping implies it captures specific variations or compositions not explicitly detailed in other, more narrowly defined sibling categories.

At this level, the primary distinction from its sibling, 7219.34.00.35 ("Other"), lies in the precise compositional criteria. While both fall under the broader umbrella of cold-rolled, in-coil stainless steel of specific thickness, category 7219.34.00.30 is defined by its chromium content of less than 15 percent. This compositional detail is a key determinant for customs purposes, influencing trade regulations and potential duties.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 7219.34.00.30 is therefore complete once the physical characteristics (flat-rolled, cold-rolled, thickness 0.5-1 mm, in coils) and the specific chromium content (less than 15%) are confirmed. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate material composition analysis to correctly apply this classification.
