7222.40.30.85 - Other

This HTS category, 7222.40.30.85, specifically covers "Other" angles, shapes, and sections of stainless steel that have been hot-rolled, but have not undergone drilling, punching, or any other form of further advancement. These items are characterized by having a maximum cross-sectional dimension of less than 80 mm. The "Other" designation indicates that it captures items not specifically detailed in preceding subheadings at this level, typically referring to shapes and sections beyond simple angles.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7222.40.30.65 ("Angles"), is crucial. While both fall under hot-rolled stainless steel angles, shapes, and sections with a maximum cross-sectional dimension under 80 mm, this "Other" category is for profiles that are not standard angles (L-shaped). It encompasses a broader range of non-standard or composite cross-sectional shapes formed during the hot-rolling process, as long as they meet the dimensional and processing criteria.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7222.40.30.85 relies heavily on accurately assessing the physical dimensions, the material composition (stainless steel), the manufacturing process (hot-rolled, not further advanced), and ensuring the item is not specifically classified as a standard angle under the sibling category.
