7225.50.60.00 - Of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more

This HTS category, 7225.50.60.00, specifically covers flat-rolled products of other alloy steel that are 600 mm or more in width, have undergone cold-rolling (cold-reduction), and are of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more. These are considered "finished" in the sense of cold-rolling but remain in a relatively thick state compared to thinner cold-rolled products. The "other alloy steel" designation implies steels with alloying elements exceeding those of ordinary carbon steels, contributing to specific properties like enhanced strength, hardness, or corrosion resistance.

Distinction from its sibling category, "Of a thickness of less than 4.75 mm," is based solely on the physical dimension of thickness. While both fall under the umbrella of cold-rolled, other alloy steel flat-rolled products, the critical differentiator here is the minimum thickness threshold of 4.75 mm. This distinction is significant in trade and manufacturing, as thicker materials are often destined for different applications and may be subject to different processing requirements or market demands.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes at this specific HTS code, highlighting the importance of accurately measuring the thickness of cold-rolled, other alloy steel flat-rolled products with a width of 600 mm or more to ensure correct customs entry. Examples of goods that would fall under this classification include heavy gauge plates or sheets of alloy steel intended for structural components, heavy machinery parts, or specialized industrial equipment where superior material properties are paramount and a significant thickness is required.
