7219.35.00.50 - Not in coils

This HTS category covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are 600 millimeters or wider, and have undergone cold-rolling or cold-reduction processes. Critically, these products are specifically designated as "not in coils," meaning they have been detached from their continuous rolled form. The thickness of these stainless steel sheets or plates must be less than 0.5 millimeters.

The key distinguishing factor for this category, compared to its sibling "In coils" under the same heading, is the form in which the product is presented. While both are flat-rolled stainless steel, less than 0.5 mm thick, and not further worked than cold-rolled, this node specifically excludes products that remain in their coiled state after the rolling process. This distinction is important for customs purposes, as it can affect handling, storage, and potential end-use considerations.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under HTS code 7219.35.00.50 is final based on the preceding criteria: stainless steel, flat-rolled, width of 600 mm or more, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a thickness less than 0.5 mm, and presented in a non-coiled format. Examples would include sheets cut to specific lengths for use in manufacturing appliances, electronic casings, or precision components where the continuous coil form is not required.
