Overview

This HTS category, 7220, encompasses flat-rolled products made from stainless steel that have a width measuring less than 600 millimeters. These products are characterized by their stainless steel composition, which provides enhanced resistance to corrosion and staining. The specified width limitation distinguishes these items from wider flat-rolled stainless steel products which would fall under different HTS classifications. Examples within this category include stainless steel strips and sheets intended for various industrial and manufacturing applications where narrower dimensions are required.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, which span diverse product groups from live animals to other base metals, is straightforward. Category 7220 is exclusively dedicated to specific forms of stainless steel, differentiating it significantly from categories dealing with live commodities or non-ferrous metals. Within Chapter 72, which broadly covers iron and steel, this specific heading focuses on flat-rolled stainless steel products meeting the defined width criteria, rather than other steel forms like bars, rods, or tubes.

The subcategories within 7220 further refine the classification based on the processing applied to the flat-rolled stainless steel. The distinction between "Not further worked than hot-rolled" and "Not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced)" is crucial for accurate classification, as it reflects different manufacturing processes that impart distinct physical properties and tolerances. The "Other" subcategory is reserved for products that do not fit the specific criteria of hot-rolled or cold-rolled, allowing for the classification of any remaining flat-rolled stainless steel products of less than 600 mm width.
