7326.11.00.00 - Grinding balls and similar articles for mills

HTS code 7326.11.00.00 specifically covers grinding balls and similar articles designed for use in mills. These articles are typically made from iron or steel and are characterized by their function in the grinding process, such as reducing the size of materials in industrial mills. Examples include balls or rods used in ball mills, rod mills, or autogenous grinding mills.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7326.19.00, which covers "other" forged or stamped articles of iron or steel not further worked. While both fall under the broader category of forged or stamped articles, 7326.11.00.00 is more specific, focusing solely on articles whose primary purpose is grinding. The sibling category would encompass other forged or stamped items of iron or steel that do not serve this specific grinding function.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification criteria focus on the material (iron or steel), manufacturing process (forged or stamped, not further worked), and most importantly, the specific intended use as grinding media for industrial mills.
