7226.92.80.05 - Of high-nickel alloy steel

This HTS classification pertains to flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, with a width less than 600 mm, that are not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced), are of a width less than 300 mm, and specifically have a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm. The defining characteristic of this category is the material composition – these are alloy steels that do not fit into more specific alloy categories and possess high nickel content. The "other alloy steel" designation means they contain additional elements beyond iron and carbon to enhance specific properties, and in this case, nickel is a significant alloying element.

This particular subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 7226.92.80.50, which is also categorized under "Other" for flat-rolled products of other alloy steel of less than 600mm width, not further worked than cold-rolled, and of less than 300mm width, but does not have the specific thickness requirement of exceeding 0.25 mm. This node is intended for those products that meet all preceding criteria and *also* have a thickness greater than 0.25 mm, differentiating them from potentially thinner cold-rolled products.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying products that meet all the outlined physical and material specifications, particularly the "high-nickel alloy steel" designation, the cold-rolled state, the width constraints of less than 600mm and less than 300mm, and the critical thickness criterion exceeding 0.25 mm. Importers and exporters should meticulously verify these attributes to ensure correct classification.
