Analysis
Heading 7225 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more. It divides into 8 six-digit subheadings and 17 eight-digit tariff lines, with 28 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 17 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 7225.30 (other, not further worked than hot-rolled, in…, 4 lines), 7225.40 (other, not further worked than hot-rolled, not in…, 4 lines), 7225.50 (other, not further worked than cold-rolled…, 4 lines) and 7225.11 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (331110). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 46th percentile of the headings in chapter 72.
