7224.90.00.75 - Other

This HTS category, 7224.90.00.75, encompasses "Other" semi-finished products of other alloy steel that are not specifically detailed in preceding subcategories. This includes a wide array of steel forms such as blooms, billets, and slabs, provided they are derived from alloy steels not covered by more specific headings within Chapter 72, and are not of a circular cross-section. The critical defining factor is that these products are produced from alloy steels that fall outside the explicitly defined categories for specific alloys or forms, and are intended for further processing into finished goods.

To differentiate this category from its sibling, 7224.90.00.65, it is crucial to note the distinction in cross-sectional shape. While 7224.90.00.65 specifically covers semi-finished other alloy steel products of a circular cross-section, this category (7224.90.00.75) accounts for all other shapes of semi-finished other alloy steel. Therefore, products with rectangular, square, or irregular cross-sections, when meeting the criteria of being "other alloy steel" and semi-finished, would be classified here.

As this category is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories for which to introduce. Classification at this level signifies the most specific grouping for these particular semi-finished other alloy steel products. Practical classification will therefore rely on thoroughly verifying that the steel meets the definition of "other alloy steel" and that the product is indeed semi-finished, with a cross-section that is not circular. Examples might include alloy steel slabs intended for rolling into plates, or alloy steel billets for forging into specialized components.
