Overview
This classification, HTS 7228.70.30.41, specifically covers "Other" angles, shapes, and sections within the broader category of hot-rolled, not otherwise advanced alloy steel, and alloy or nonalloy steel products. This designation is for items that do not fall under the more specific descriptions within the same parent grouping. The key defining characteristic of goods classified here is their nature as angles, shapes, or sections that have undergone a hot-rolling process without further mechanical advancement such as drilling or punching.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7228.70.30.20 ("Angles"), is crucial. While "Angles" is a specific geometric form (two legs joined at an angle), HTS 7228.70.30.41 encompasses a wider range of profiles. These could include "H" beams, "I" beams, channels, or other structural shapes that are not strictly defined as angles. The common thread is that they are all formed from alloy or nonalloy steel, hot-rolled, and possess a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 76 mm or more.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification into HTS 7228.70.30.41 rests on identifying products that meet the broad criteria of being angles, shapes, or sections, made from alloy or nonalloy steel, hot-rolled, not drilled, not punched, and not otherwise advanced, with a cross-sectional dimension of 76 mm or more, and which do not fit into more narrowly defined sibling categories. This often involves careful examination of the product's profile and its intended structural applications.
