Overview
This HTS category, 8455.30.00.05, specifically classifies rolls designed for use in metal rolling mills that have a net weight **not exceeding 2,268 kilograms**. These rolls are essential components of machinery used in the metal processing industry to shape and reduce the thickness of metal products through a rolling process. The material composition of these rolls is gray iron, indicating a specific type of cast iron known for its machinability and durability, suitable for the demanding environment of a rolling mill.
The key distinguishing factor for this subcategory lies in its weight limitation. Unlike its sibling categories, 8455.30.00.15 (exceeding 2,268 kg but not exceeding 6,803.9 kg) and 8455.30.00.25 (exceeding 6,803.9 kg), this classification is reserved for smaller, lighter rolls. This weight distinction is a critical classification criterion, reflecting differences in the scale and type of rolling operations for which these rolls are intended.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 8455.30.00.05. Classification at this level is therefore final, based on the product's intended use as a roll for metal rolling mills, its material composition of gray iron, and its specific weight not exceeding 2,268 kilograms.
