More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the rod is cold-formed or further worked after hot-extrusion
This subheading covers bars and rods of stainless steel not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished, or otherwise further worked.
If the product meets the definition of flat-rolled products (thickness ≤ 1/10 of width)
Heading 7219 covers flat-rolled products of stainless steel, which may apply if the flat rod is considered a flat-rolled product rather than a bar/rod.
If the product is an angle, shape, or section rather than a rod
This subheading covers angles, shapes, and sections of stainless steel, which may apply if the product's form changes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the rod is not further worked beyond hot-extrusion (e.g
• no polishing, coating, or cold-working)
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the 434 grade composition (chromium ≥10.5%, low nickel) to support classification
• Check if the flat rod might be classified as a flat-rolled product under heading 7219 if it meets the thickness-to-width ratio
