7226.92.70.05 - Of high-nickel alloy steel 🖩

This HTS category, 7226.92.70.05, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of other alloy steel that are less than 600 mm in width, have not been further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), are other than those in specific width and thickness subcategories, and are of a width less than 300 mm, with a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm. These are essentially very thin, cold-rolled strips of specialized alloy steel, characterized by their precise dimensions and composition, excluding other high-nickel alloy steels that might fall into different subheadings within this broader category.

This particular classification is distinguished from its sibling, 7226.92.70.50 ("Other"), by its specific limitation on thickness. While both fall under "Of a width of less than 300 mm" and "Not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced)," the .05 subheading is strictly for those with a thickness *not exceeding 0.25 mm*. The "Other" sibling would therefore encompass products within the less than 300 mm width and cold-rolled criteria but exceeding 0.25 mm in thickness.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this heading relies on confirming that the material is indeed "other alloy steel" (as opposed to high-nickel alloy steel or carbon steel), that it has been cold-rolled, and that it meets the precise width (less than 300 mm) and thickness (not exceeding 0.25 mm) specifications. The intended use or specific alloy composition within the "other alloy steel" designation does not create further subdivisions at this level.
