7326.19.00 - Other

HTS Code 7326.19.00 encompasses a broad range of articles manufactured from iron or steel that have undergone a forging or stamping process but have not received further working beyond these initial shaping methods. This category serves as a residual classification for forged or stamped iron or steel articles that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the 7326.10 series. The key defining characteristic is the method of manufacture, specifically that the metal has been shaped by pressure, either through forging (heating and hammering) or stamping (using a die and punch).

This subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 7326.11.00.00, which specifically enumerates grinding balls and similar articles for mills. Therefore, any forged or stamped iron or steel articles that are *not* grinding balls or specifically designed for milling operations would fall under 7326.19.00. The absence of further working means that operations like machining, polishing, or surface treatments beyond the initial shaping are not present, or are minimal to the extent that they do not fundamentally alter the article's form derived from the forging or stamping.

Within 7326.19.00, further classification is provided by its subcategories. Subheading 7326.19.00.10 is reserved for articles that are specifically *forged*, indicating a manufacturing process involving shaping heated metal through impact. Conversely, subheading 7326.19.00.80 captures all *other* articles within this general category that are forged or stamped but do not fall under the more specific "forged" designation or the sibling category for grinding balls. This hierarchical structure allows for a more precise classification based on the specific shaping technique and intended use or general nature of the article.
