Analysis
HTS 7219.12.00 covers of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm under heading 7219 (flat-rolled products of stainless steel, of a width of 600 mm or more). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 9 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
The ten-digit suffixes separate not annealed or not pickled, of high-nickel alloy steel, of a width not exceeding 1575 mm, of a width exceeding 1575 mm, of a width not exceeding 1575 mm and of a width exceeding 1575 mm and 1 more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 29% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 29% duty.
