Overview
This HTS classification, 7219.35.00.05, specifically covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that have undergone cold rolling and have a thickness of less than 0.5 mm. These products are supplied in coils and are characterized by their composition, containing more than 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent by weight of molybdenum. The stainless steel in this category is further defined by its nickel content, which must be greater than 0.5 percent but less than 24 percent by weight.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 7219.35.00.15 ("Other"), by the precise molybdenum content. While both fall under the broader "Containing more than 0.5 percent but less than 24 percent by weight of nickel" grouping, 7219.35.00.05 is specifically for those coils with a molybdenum percentage strictly between 1.5% and 5%. The "Other" category would encompass stainless steel coils within the specified nickel range but with molybdenum content outside of this precise 1.5% to 5% band.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the specified physical characteristics and material composition. Importers and exporters should ensure that laboratory analysis confirming the exact percentage by weight of molybdenum and nickel is available to support classification under this specific subheading.
