7220.90.00.80 - Other

This HTS category, 7220.90.00.80, encompasses "Other" flat-rolled products of stainless steel with a width of less than 600 mm that do not fall under any more specific subheadings within the 7220.90.00 grouping. It serves as a residual category for stainless steel flat-rolled products under 600 mm in width that are not otherwise classified within this chapter, and are not specifically designated as containing less than 15 percent by weight of chromium.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7220.90.00.60, is crucial. The sibling specifically covers stainless steel flat-rolled products (under 600 mm width) that contain *less than 15 percent by weight of chromium*. Therefore, 7220.90.00.80 applies to stainless steel flat-rolled products under 600 mm in width that either contain 15 percent or more by weight of chromium, or whose chromium content is not specified or is otherwise not the primary distinguishing characteristic for classification at a more granular level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 7220.90.00.80 is determined by the absence of specific criteria that would place the product into a more narrowly defined subheading. Importers and exporters should meticulously verify the chemical composition, particularly the chromium content, and the physical dimensions (width less than 600 mm) of their stainless steel flat-rolled products to ensure accurate classification.
