7219.90.00.25 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 7219.90.00.25, encompasses flat-rolled products of stainless steel with a width of 600 mm or more that do not fit into more specific "Other" subcategories. The term "Other" at this level indicates a residual category for stainless steel flat-rolled products meeting the general width requirement but not specifically defined by other criteria within the 7219 heading. This includes a broad range of stainless steel coils, sheets, and plates that are not further distinguished by specific alloy content (such as molybdenum percentages) or other specialized finishes or treatments not covered elsewhere.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7219.90.00.20, which specifically covers flat-rolled stainless steel products containing more than 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent by weight of molybdenum. HTS Code 7219.90.00.25 is for stainless steel products that *do not* meet the molybdenum criteria of the sibling category, or any other more specific sub-classifications that might exist at lower levels of the tariff schedule for these broad "Other" designations.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under 7219.90.00.25 relies on a thorough examination of the material composition and physical form of the stainless steel flat-rolled product. If a product is stainless steel, is at least 600 mm wide, and does not fall under any more precise heading or subheading, including those with specific alloy percentages or treatments, it will be classified here. This ensures that all stainless steel flat-rolled products are accounted for within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
