7226.92.80 - Of a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm

This HTS category, 7226.92.80, covers flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, specifically those with a width of less than 600 mm, not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), and with a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm. These are specialized steel products that have undergone cold-rolling processes to achieve precise dimensions and surface finishes, and are characterized by their alloy composition beyond that of basic carbon steels.

The key differentiator for this classification lies in the thickness criterion. It stands apart from its sibling category, 7226.92.70, which specifically enumerates products with a thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm. Therefore, any other alloy steel flat-rolled products meeting the width and processing criteria, but exceeding 0.25 mm in thickness, fall under this heading.

Within this category, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification based on the specific alloy content. The subcategory 7226.92.80.05 addresses products made from high-nickel alloy steel, while 7226.92.80.50 encompasses all other alloy steel compositions not specifically categorized as high-nickel. This distinction is crucial for tariff purposes, reflecting the varying properties and applications of different alloy steels.
