7220.20.70.80 - Other

This HTS code, 7220.20.70.80, designates "Other" flat-rolled products of stainless steel that meet specific dimensional and processing criteria. Specifically, these are stainless steel products that have been cold-rolled, are less than 600 mm in width, and are less than 300 mm in width. Furthermore, their thickness must exceed 0.25 mm but not exceed 1.25 mm. The "Other" designation within this subcategory indicates a residual classification for products not otherwise specified at a more granular level, following the initial "Other" categorization for width.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 7220.20.70.60, lies in the elemental composition. While 7220.20.70.60 specifically covers stainless steel containing less than 15 percent by weight of chromium, this current category, 7220.20.70.80, encompasses all other stainless steel products that fit the described width and thickness parameters, regardless of their chromium content. This means any stainless steel product meeting the width and thickness requirements, but containing 15 percent or more chromium, or simply not falling under the specific compositional criteria of the sibling, would be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by a process of elimination based on the preceding criteria. Therefore, the primary task for a classifier is to confirm that the product is indeed flat-rolled stainless steel, cold-rolled, and falls within the specified width (less than 600 mm and specifically less than 300 mm) and thickness (exceeding 0.25 mm but not exceeding 1.25 mm) parameters, and does not fit into any more specifically defined categories.
