Overview
This HTS subcategory, 7302.10.10.15, specifically classifies new, non-heat-treated rails of iron or non-alloy steel that weigh over 30 kilograms per meter. These rails are intended for railway or tramway track construction and represent heavier-duty applications where significant weight and structural integrity are paramount. The classification focuses on the physical characteristic of weight per meter as a primary determinant.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7302.10.10.25 "Other," is crucial. While both cover new, non-heat-treated rails of iron or non-alloy steel, this category is exclusively for those exceeding the 30 kg/meter threshold. Sibling category .25 would encompass all such rails that do not meet this specific weight requirement.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the material (iron or non-alloy steel), condition (new), treatment (not heat-treated), and critically, the weight per meter being over 30 kg. This precise demarcation ensures accurate categorization for heavier sections of railway rail.
