7225.30.70.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 7225.30.70.00, pertains to flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, with a width of 600 mm or more, that have not undergone further working beyond hot-rolling, are supplied in coils, and have a thickness of less than 4.75 mm. The term "other alloy steel" signifies that these products are not classified under specific alloy types such as tool steel, which is addressed in sibling categories. Therefore, this designation captures a broad range of hot-rolled alloy steel coils that do not fit into more precisely defined alloy categories.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its exclusion of specifically designated alloy steels. For instance, while sibling category 7225.30.51 covers "Of tool steel," this code, 7225.30.70.00, applies to alloy steels that are not classified as tool steel, encompassing a variety of compositions and properties beyond those of high-speed steel or other tool steel grades. The common characteristics are their form (hot-rolled coils), dimensions (width of 600 mm or more, thickness less than 4.75 mm), and the fact that they are not further worked after the initial hot-rolling process.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 7225.30.70.00. Classification within this category is determined by fulfilling all the preceding criteria: being flat-rolled other alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled in coils, and with a thickness under 4.75 mm, while specifically not being of tool steel or other specifically enumerated alloy types at this level.
