7226.92.10 - Of a width of 300 mm or more

This HTS category, 7226.92.10, specifically covers flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, with a width of 300 mm or more, that have not undergone further working beyond cold-rolling (cold-reduction). These are distinct from alloy steel products with a narrower width. The key physical characteristic for classification here is the minimum width of 300 millimeters, differentiating them from their sibling category which deals with widths less than this threshold.

The goods within this classification are specifically identified as being of "tool steel (other than high-speed steel)." This designation is crucial and refers to alloy steels formulated for use in manufacturing tools, dies, molds, and other applications requiring high hardness, wear resistance, and toughness. The absence of further working, beyond cold-rolling, implies that these products are typically in coils or flat sheets and have not been shaped, forged, or subjected to processes like heat treatment beyond what is involved in the cold-rolling operation itself.

Subdivisions exist within this category to further refine the classification based on the specific type of tool steel. The subcategories 7226.92.10.30 and 7226.92.10.60 differentiate between "ball-bearing steel" and "other" types of tool steel, respectively. This allows for more granular tracking and statistical reporting of specific steel compositions and their intended applications within the broader "tool steel" classification.
