Overview
This HTS category, 7308.90.70.00, specifically classifies steel grating. Steel grating is a load-bearing product constructed from interlocking or welded steel bars, typically used for walkways, platforms, and industrial flooring. Its open mesh construction allows for passage of light, air, and drainage, making it ideal for environments where these factors are important.
At this level of detail, steel grating is distinguished from its sibling category, 7308.90.95 ("Other"). While 7308.90.95 serves as a residual category for other iron or steel structures and parts thereof not otherwise specified, 7308.90.70.00 is a specific designation for the distinct product form of steel grating. Classification here hinges on the presence of the characteristic open-grid or mesh structure formed by interconnected steel components designed for bearing loads.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7308.90.70.00 relies on accurately identifying the merchandise as steel grating, conforming to the broader definition of structures and parts of structures under heading 7308. Key considerations include the material composition (iron or steel), its prepared state for structural use, and its characteristic grating form.
