7226.11.90.60 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7226.11.90.60, covers "Other" grain-oriented silicon electrical steel that is flat-rolled, made from other alloy steel, has a width of less than 600 mm, and specifically falls into a width of less than 300 mm. These are specialized steel products characterized by their magnetic properties, engineered to efficiently channel magnetic flux in one direction, crucial for the core of electrical transformers and other power equipment. The "other alloy steel" designation signifies that while it contains silicon and is designed for electrical applications, it may possess additional alloying elements beyond what is specified in more narrowly defined categories within the 7226.11 subheadings.

The primary distinction for this category lies in its dimensional parameters and composition. While the parent category 7226.11 pertains to grain-oriented silicon electrical steel, this specific subheading narrows the focus. It differentiates from sibling category 7226.11.90.30, which covers such steel with a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm, by not imposing a specific thickness limitation within the 300 mm width constraint. Therefore, this classification is for grain-oriented silicon electrical steel with a width under 300 mm that is *not* exclusively defined by being 0.25 mm or less in thickness, encompassing a broader range of thicknesses within that width parameter.

As this is a terminal node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7226.11.90.60 is definitive for products meeting the described width and being grain-oriented silicon electrical steel of other alloy steel, when specific thickness limitations from sibling nodes are not met, or when it represents the residual category for such items not otherwise specified. Practical classification hinges on confirming the material's alloy composition, its electrical grade properties, the grain-oriented nature of its microstructure, and its precise dimensions, particularly the width falling under 300 mm.
