7220.20.10.10 - Containing more than 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent by weight of molybdenum

This HTS category, 7220.20.10.10, specifically classifies flat-rolled stainless steel products that are less than 600 mm in width, have undergone cold rolling (cold reduction), and are at least 300 mm wide. A key defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that the steel must contain more than 0.5 percent but less than 24 percent by weight of nickel. Furthermore, to fall under this specific code, the material must also contain more than 1.5 percent but less than 5 percent by weight of molybdenum.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7220.20.10.15 ("Other"), by the precise chemical composition regarding molybdenum content. While both fall under the broader classification of cold-rolled stainless steel strips of specified dimensions and nickel content, 7220.20.10.10 is reserved for those with a molybdenum concentration specifically between 1.5% and 5%. The "Other" category would encompass stainless steel products meeting the other criteria but having different molybdenum percentages.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the complete set of criteria: flat-rolled, stainless steel, width less than 600 mm, cold-rolled, width of 300 mm or more, nickel content between 0.5% and 24%, and molybdenum content between 1.5% and 5% by weight.
