7220.11.00.00 - Of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more

This HTS category, 7220.11.00.00, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of stainless steel that are less than 600 mm in width and have undergone hot-rolling. Crucially, these products must have a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. This designation focuses on the physical dimensions of the material, ensuring that thicker hot-rolled stainless steel strips and sheets fall within this precise classification.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its thickness requirement, setting it apart from its sibling, 7220.12, which covers similar hot-rolled stainless steel products of a width less than 600 mm but with a thickness of less than 4.75 mm. Both fall under the broader heading for flat-rolled stainless steel products under 600 mm wide, but the critical differentiating factor is the minimum thickness threshold of 4.75 mm for this particular code.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, and goods meeting all the described criteria – flat-rolled stainless steel, less than 600 mm wide, hot-rolled, and with a thickness of 4.75 mm or more – will be classified under 7220.11.00.00. Examples include hot-rolled stainless steel coils, strips, or plates meeting these specifications.
