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 has a circular cross-section and a diameter of less than 80 mm
This subheading covers stainless steel bars and rods of circular cross-section, not further worked than hot-rolled or hot-drawn.
If the rod is further worked, such as heat-treated or machined
This heading covers other bars and rods of stainless steel, including those with additional processing.
If the rod is predominantly nickel and does not meet the stainless steel definition
If the chromium content is below 10.5%, the product would be classified as a nickel alloy, not stainless steel.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the rod meets the stainless steel definition with at least 10.5% chromium and not more than 1.2% carbon
• Provide a mill certificate showing the VAR process and the alloy composition to the CBSA
• Check if the product qualifies for duty relief under Canadian aerospace manufacturing programs
