8455.30.00.65 - Not exceeding 2,268 kg

This HTS category, 8455.30.00.65, specifically classifies rolls for metal rolling mills that do not exceed a weight of 2,268 kilograms. These rolls are essential components used in the process of shaping metal through the application of pressure between rotating cylinders. The weight limitation is the defining characteristic for items falling under this classification.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Category 8455.30.00.75 covers rolls for metal rolling mills with a weight exceeding 2,268 kg but not exceeding 6,803.9 kg. Further up the weight scale, category 8455.30.00.85 encompasses rolls that weigh more than 6,803.9 kg. Therefore, the precise weight measurement of the rolling mill roll is the sole determinant for its placement among these three sibling categories within the "Other" sub-grouping.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 8455.30.00.65 is final for rolls meeting the described weight criterion and intended for use in metal rolling mills, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 84 which deals with machinery and mechanical appliances.
