7225.40.70.00 - Other

This HTS category, 7225.40.70.00, encompasses "Other" flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, specifically those that are not further worked than hot-rolled, are not in coils, have a width of 600 mm or more, and possess a thickness of less than 4.75 mm. This classification serves as a residual category for hot-rolled alloy steel products meeting the specified dimensional criteria that do not fall under more specific subheadings at this level.

The key differentiator for this category is its exclusion of specialized alloy steels. For instance, it is distinct from sibling category 7225.40.51, which is exclusively for flat-rolled products of tool steel. Therefore, while both fall under the broader classification of "other alloy steel," 7225.40.70.00 applies to other types of alloy steel, such as those designed for structural applications, automotive components, or general engineering purposes, provided they meet the physical specifications of hot-rolled, not in coil, and less than 4.75 mm thick.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this subheading relies on the precise adherence to the stated material (other alloy steel, excluding tool steel) and dimensional characteristics (width 600 mm or more, not in coils, and less than 4.75 mm thickness). Importers and exporters should carefully verify the material composition and physical attributes of their goods to ensure accurate classification under this residual "Other" designation.
