7220.20.90 - Other

This HTS category, 7220.20.90, pertains to flat-rolled products of stainless steel, less than 600 mm in width, that have been cold-rolled and are less than 300 mm in width, with a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm. These are characterized by their precise dimensions and finish achieved through cold-rolling processes, making them suitable for applications demanding high tolerances and specific surface qualities.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7220.20.80 (Razor blade steel), is crucial. While both fall under cold-rolled stainless steel strips of specific dimensions, this category encompasses a broader range of "other" stainless steel products that do not meet the specific definition or intended use of razor blade steel. The key differentiator lies in the material composition and end-use, with this category covering general-purpose stainless steel strips.

The subcategories under 7220.20.90 further refine the classification based on specific nickel content. 7220.20.90.30 covers stainless steel strips with a nickel content between 0.5% and 24% by weight, while 7220.20.90.60 encompasses all other stainless steel strips that do not fall into the previously mentioned nickel range, representing a more diverse group of materials within these dimensional parameters.
