7226.92.10.60 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 7226.92.10.60, encompasses flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, less than 600 mm in width, which have undergone cold rolling. These specific items are further characterized by being "other" and not further worked than cold-rolled. The "other" designation here signifies that the material does not fit into more specific sub-classifications of tool steel, such as those defined by particular alloys or specific applications beyond the general scope of tool steel.

The distinction from its sibling category, 7226.92.10.30, is crucial. While both fall under cold-rolled flat-rolled products of other alloy steel measuring less than 600 mm in width and not further worked, 7226.92.10.30 is specifically designated for "ball-bearing steel." Therefore, 7226.92.10.60 covers all other cold-rolled flat-rolled products of alloy steel (less than 600 mm width) that are of a tool steel grade but are not explicitly classified as ball-bearing steel. This implies that the specific alloy composition or intended use, while still falling within the broad definition of tool steel, does not align with the stringent requirements for ball-bearing applications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories under 7226.92.10.60. Classification into this code relies on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a flat-rolled product of other alloy steel, less than 600 mm in width, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a tool steel type (but not specifically ball-bearing steel), and of a width of 300 mm or more. Practical examples would include cold-rolled strips or sheets of various alloy steels used in tooling manufacturing, such as dies, punches, or cutting tools, where the specific alloy composition does not qualify for the more specialized "ball-bearing steel" classification.
