Clad Copper Steel Rounds from United States
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel cores clad with copper for electrical grounding rods. The copper cladding is a metal coating under Chapter 72, and the rods are not cold-formed, so they fall under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel.

Import Tips

• Provide documentation that the steel core is nonalloy and hot-rolled
• Ensure the rods are not further worked into articles of Section XVI, such as finished grounding electrodes
