7224.90.00.35 - Other

This HTS category, 7224.90.00.35, specifically covers "Other" semi-finished products of other alloy steel, excluding those with a rectangular (including square) cross-section. It pertains to a broad range of alloy steel forms that do not fit into more specifically defined subcategories within the broader heading of "Other alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms; semi-finished products of other alloy steel." The key differentiating factor for inclusion here is the absence of a rectangular or square cross-section for these semi-finished products.

This classification functions as a residual category for semi-finished alloy steel products that are not otherwise specified. For instance, it would encompass semi-finished alloy steel products with non-rectangular cross-sections, such as round bars or hexagonal shapes, that are produced from alloys other than standard carbon steels and are intended for further processing. The "other" designation signifies that these items do not meet the criteria for more granular classifications within this part of the tariff schedule, necessitating their grouping under this general description.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 7224.90.00.35. Therefore, the classification relies heavily on the exclusion of other explicitly defined categories at the same level, particularly the distinction from semi-finished products of a rectangular or square cross-section. Importers and exporters must carefully examine the physical characteristics of their alloy steel semi-finished products, paying close attention to their cross-sectional geometry and their alloy composition, to ensure accurate classification under this provision.
