Overview
This HTS classification, 7220.20.70.60, specifically designates flat-rolled stainless steel products that are less than 600 mm in width, have not been further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), and fall within a width of less than 300 mm. Furthermore, the material must possess a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm but not exceeding 1.25 mm. A key defining characteristic of this specific subcategory is that it contains less than 15 percent by weight of chromium, placing it in a distinct group within stainless steel alloys.
This category is differentiated from its sibling, 7220.20.70.80, which is also classified under "Other" but represents stainless steel products that do not meet the specific chromium content limitation of this category. The distinction lies solely in the percentage of chromium by weight, with 7220.20.70.60 covering those stainless steels with a lower chromium composition.
As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 7220.20.70.60 is dependent on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a cold-rolled flat-rolled stainless steel product, with a width under 600 mm, specifically under 300 mm, a thickness between 0.25 mm and 1.25 mm, and crucially, containing less than 15 percent chromium by weight. Examples of goods that might fall here include certain types of specialty steel strips or sheets used in specific manufacturing processes where a lower chromium content is desired for particular physical properties or cost considerations.
