Overview

This HTS category, 7220.20, specifically covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel that have undergone a cold-rolling (or cold-reduction) process. This manufacturing technique imparts a smoother surface finish, tighter dimensional tolerances, and increased tensile strength compared to hot-rolled products. The "not further worked than cold-rolled" descriptor indicates that these goods have not undergone subsequent operations such as plating, coating, or shaping into specific forms beyond the rolling process itself.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it's important to note that 7220.20 pertains solely to cold-rolled stainless steel. Its sibling category, which falls under the broader "Flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of less than 600 mm," refers to products that have been hot-rolled. The "Other" sibling, 7220.90.00, encompasses stainless steel flat-rolled products that do not fit into the hot-rolled or cold-rolled categories.

Within the 7220.20 classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on width. The subcategories are "Of a width of 300 mm or more" and "Of a width of less than 300 mm." This distinction is crucial for customs purposes as it allows for more precise categorization and application of relevant duties and trade regulations based on the specific dimensions of the cold-rolled stainless steel product.
