CBP's answer: D. D: 7219.13.0002
Chapter 72 Note 1(e) defines stainless steel and 1(k) flat-rolled products; coils of rolled solid rectangular section qualify. Stainless flat-rolled product 600 mm or more wide, hot-rolled in coils, 3 mm to under 4.75 mm thick, not annealed or not pickled, is 7219.13.0002. The 750 mm width rules out 7220 (under 600 mm), and 7225 is for other alloy steel.
Alloy steels containing, by weight 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or without other elements. Chapter 72, Note 1
