7225.30.30 - Other

This classification, HTS 7225.30.30, encompasses flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, exceeding 600 mm in width, which have been hot-rolled and are presented in coils. Crucially, these products are not further worked beyond the initial hot-rolling process. The defining characteristic of this specific subheading is that the alloy steel, while not tool steel, meets the criteria for being classified as "other" alloy steel.

To differentiate, this category stands apart from HTS 7225.30.11, which specifically covers flat-rolled products of tool steel. Therefore, if the alloy steel in question does not possess the characteristics or intended use of tool steel (such as for making cutting tools, dies, or molds), it would fall under this broader "other" category.

Within HTS 7225.30.30, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the specific composition of the alloy steel. HTS 7225.30.30.05 is designated for products of high-nickel alloy steel, identifying a particular subset with a significant nickel content. The remaining products, which do not qualify as high-nickel alloy steel, are classified under HTS 7225.30.30.50, serving as a residual category for other alloy steel compositions.
