Nickel-Plated Low Carbon Steel Rods
Hot-rolled low carbon nonalloy steel rods with nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance in marine hardware. The nickel plating is a metal coating, and the rods are not cold-formed, placing them under this tariff item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the nickel plating is a surface treatment, not a separate cladding
• Provide a certificate of analysis for the steel's carbon content and non-alloy status
• Check if the rods meet Canadian marine hardware standards

Aluminum-Coated Exhaust Rods
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel rods coated with an aluminum layer for high-temperature automotive exhaust components. The aluminum coating qualifies as a metal coating, and the rods are not cold-formed, placing them under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel.
Annealed Nonalloy Steel Tie Rod Blank
Annealed blank for tie rods, made of non-alloy steel and intended for use as construction tension members. The annealing process softens the steel without adding alloying elements, keeping it within the scope of Chapter 72 as a non-alloy steel bar.
Bright Drawn Mild Steel Bright Bar
Bright finish bar drawn from mild non-alloy steel billets, used for applications requiring precise dimensions and a smooth surface. Bright drawing is a cold-working process that does not change the steel's non-alloy character, so it remains a bar of heading 7215.
Centerless Ground Steel Shim Stock
Thin non-alloy steel shim stock, centerless ground for precise thickness used in machinery adjustments. The grinding process provides a smooth finish but does not turn the product into a flat-rolled product, so it remains a bar or rod of heading 7215.
Chromium-Plated Nonalloy Steel Shafts
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel round shafts with a hard chromium plating for wear resistance in industrial machinery. The chromium plating is a metal coating, and since the shafts are not cold-formed, they are classified as other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel.
Clad Copper Steel Rounds
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel cores clad with copper for electrical grounding rods. The copper cladding is a metal coating, and the rods are not cold-formed, so they fall under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel.
