8455.30.00.35 - Not exceeding 2,268 kg

This HTS classification, 8455.30.00.35, specifically covers rolls for metal-rolling mills that are made of cast steel and have a weight not exceeding 2,268 kilograms. These rolls are integral components used in the process of shaping metal by passing it between successive pairs of rotating rolls. The material composition, being cast steel, and the defined weight limit are the primary defining characteristics for this particular subcategory.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies solely in the weight of the cast steel rolls. While 8455.30.00.35 applies to rolls weighing up to 2,268 kg, sibling categories 8455.30.00.45 and 8455.30.00.55 cover heavier rolls exceeding this weight, with further subdivision based on upper weight thresholds of 6,803.9 kg. Therefore, accurate weighing of the cast steel roll is critical for proper classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories beneath 8455.30.00.35. Classification under this heading is complete once the item is identified as a cast steel roll for a rolling mill and its weight is confirmed to be within the specified limit of not exceeding 2,268 kg. The parent category, "Rolls for rolling mills," encompasses all such rolls, with this specific code narrowing the scope to cast steel types within a particular weight range.
