7226.11.10.00 - Of a width of 300 mm or more

This HTS classification, 7226.11.10.00, specifically covers grain-oriented flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, which are designed for electrical applications and possess a width of 300 mm or more. These materials are characterized by their specific magnetic properties that are enhanced by a preferred grain orientation, making them suitable for use in transformers and other electrical components where energy efficiency is paramount. The "other alloy steel" designation indicates that these products contain elements beyond iron and carbon in specified quantities to achieve desired performance characteristics, distinct from carbon steels.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, 7226.11.90, primarily by the physical dimension of width. While both are grain-oriented silicon electrical steels, 7226.11.10.00 applies to products that are 300 mm or wider, whereas the sibling category encompasses those with a width of less than 300 mm. This distinction is a critical factor in customs classification, ensuring accurate tariff assessment based on the size of the rolled product.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 7226.11.10.00. Therefore, classification within this specific code is determined by meeting all the criteria outlined by the parent categories: being a flat-rolled product of other alloy steel, specifically silicon electrical steel, exhibiting grain-oriented properties, and having a width of 300 mm or more. Practical classification would involve verifying the material composition, the grain orientation, and the precise width of the imported or exported steel product.
