7225.40.11.80 - Other

This HTS classification, 7225.40.11.80, covers "Other" flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, not in coils, with a width of 600 mm or more, and a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. Specifically, this category is designated for these types of steel products that do not fall under the "high-speed steel" subcategory. The defining characteristic is that these are "other alloy steels," meaning they contain alloying elements beyond those found in standard carbon steels, but are not specifically classified as high-speed steel.

The distinction from its sibling category, 7225.40.11.10 (Of high-speed steel), is crucial. High-speed steel is a specific type of alloy steel known for its hardness, wear resistance, and ability to retain hardness at high temperatures, making it ideal for cutting tools. This category, 7225.40.11.80, therefore encompasses a broader range of "other alloy steels" that do not meet the stringent requirements or specific composition of high-speed steel.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. This means that all products meeting the preceding criteria (flat-rolled, other alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, not in coils, width ≥ 600 mm, thickness ≥ 4.75 mm, and not of high-speed steel) are classified directly under this code. Classification will rely on confirming the material composition as an alloy steel that is not high-speed steel, alongside the specified physical dimensions and processing.
