Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the bar is hot-rolled or hot-drawn instead of cold-finished
Hot-rolled stainless bars fall under a different subheading within heading 72.22.
If the bar is further worked beyond cold-forming, such as machined or bent
Further working would exclude it from 7222.20.00 and place it in the 'other bars and rods' subheading.
