7302.10.10.55 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 7302.10.10.55, encompasses new, heat-treated rails of iron or nonalloy steel that do not fall under the specific weight criteria of its sibling category. It represents a broad residual classification for such rails after other more precisely defined types have been accounted for. These rails are essential components for railway and tramway track construction, designed to withstand significant stress and wear, and have undergone heat treatment processes to enhance their durability and performance characteristics.

The key distinction of this category from its sibling, 7302.10.10.45, lies in the weight per meter. While the sibling category specifically covers rails exceeding 30 kilograms per meter, this category serves as a catch-all for new, heat-treated rails of iron or nonalloy steel that weigh 30 kilograms per meter or less, or where the precise weight is not the primary defining characteristic for classification. The "Other" designation signifies that these rails do not fit into more specialized sub-classifications based on weight.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7302.10.10.55 is determined by confirming that the rails are new, made of iron or nonalloy steel, have been heat-treated, and do not meet the specific weight criteria of its sibling classification. Importers and exporters should carefully verify the specifications of their goods to ensure accurate application of this classification.
