Tin-Plated Carbon Steel Rounds
Hot-rolled round bars of nonalloy carbon steel coated with tin for use in manufacturing chains and fasteners. The tin coating is a metal coating, and the bars are not cold-formed, so they are classified under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel.

Aluminum-Coated Exhaust Rods
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel rods coated with an aluminum-based layer for high-temperature automotive exhaust systems. The aluminum coating qualifies as a metal coating under Chapter 72, and because the rods are not cold-formed, they fall under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel.
Chromium-Plated Nonalloy Steel Shafts
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel round shafts plated with hard chromium 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 nonalloy steel under this tariff item.
Clad Copper Steel Rounds
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.
Galvanized Carbon Steel Rebar
Hot-rolled carbon steel reinforcing bars coated with zinc to prevent corrosion in concrete construction. The zinc coating is a metal coating, and because the bars are not cold-formed, they are classified under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel.
Galvanized Concrete Tie Bars
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel bars coated with zinc for use as concrete wall ties in construction formwork. The zinc coating is a metal coating, and the bars lack indentations or deformations, so they fall under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel.
Galvannealed Structural Bars
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel structural bars with a galvannealed coating, which is a zinc-iron alloy, for painted building frameworks. The coating is a metal coating, and the bars are not cold-formed, so they are classified under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel.
