Overview
This classification covers flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, with a width of 600 mm or more, that have been hot-rolled and are presented in coils. Crucially, these products must have a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. The defining characteristic of this category is that the "other alloy steel" is specifically tool steel. Tool steel is a type of alloy steel that possesses exceptional hardness, strength, and resistance to wear and deformation, making it suitable for manufacturing tools, dies, and molds.
This specific subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 7225.30.11.10, by the type of alloy steel. While the sibling covers high-speed steel, which is a specialized type of tool steel known for its ability to retain hardness at high temperatures, this category encompasses a broader range of tool steels. Therefore, classification here depends on the precise chemical composition and intended use of the alloy steel, ensuring it meets the metallurgical standards for tool steel applications beyond those specifically designated as high-speed steel.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Consequently, classification within this code requires a careful examination of the material's properties and designation as tool steel, distinguishing it from other alloy steels not intended for tool manufacturing. Importers and exporters should be prepared to provide documentation detailing the steel's composition and intended application to support classification under this specific tariff line.
