7222.40.30.65 - Angles

This classification covers stainless steel angles that have undergone hot-rolling but have not been further processed through drilling, punching, or any other advancements. Specifically, these angles are characterized by having a maximum cross-sectional dimension that measures less than 80 millimeters. The material composition is strictly stainless steel, and the shaping process is limited to hot-rolling, meaning no additional shaping or fabricating steps have been applied after the initial hot-rolling.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7222.40.30.85, which is designated for "Other" angles. This means that any stainless steel angles meeting the hot-rolled criteria but falling outside the specified dimension limit or possessing certain additional characteristics not covered here would likely be classified under the "Other" subheading. The defining factor for this particular category is the combination of the material, the hot-rolling process, the absence of further advancement, and the strict size limitation.

As this node is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this specific code (7222.40.30.65) rests on a meticulous assessment of whether the imported stainless steel angles meet all the preceding criteria: being hot-rolled, not drilled, not punched, not otherwise advanced, made of stainless steel, and possessing a maximum cross-sectional dimension strictly under 80 mm.
