Overview
This HTS category, 7222.40.30.25, specifically classifies hot-rolled stainless steel angles that have a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 80 mm or more. These are structural components formed by rolling stainless steel while hot, resulting in an "L" shape or similar angular profile. Crucially, these angles are not further processed after the hot-rolling stage, meaning they are neither drilled, punched, nor otherwise modified in a way that alters their fundamental shape or intended structural application.
This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 7222.40.30.45, which covers "Other" angles. The "Other" category would encompass hot-rolled stainless steel angles that meet the basic criteria but do not have a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 80 mm or more, or potentially angles that have undergone minor processing not explicitly excluded. Therefore, the key differentiator for this subcategory is the significant size requirement of the cross-section.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 7222.40.30.25 is final for hot-rolled stainless steel angles meeting the specified size and processing criteria. Practical classification relies on verifying the material composition (stainless steel), the manufacturing process (hot-rolled), the shape (angle), and the measurement of the largest cross-sectional dimension.
