Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the rod is not cold-formed but hot-rolled or otherwise worked
Other bars and rods of stainless steel, not cold-formed, are classified under this item.
If the product is made primarily of nickel and not classified as stainless steel
Nickel alloy bars and rods fall under Chapter 75 when the nickel content predominates.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the square rod meets the definition of a bar under Chapter 72, with a uniform solid cross-section
• The high nickel content (67%) qualifies it as a high-nickel alloy, so ensure the customs declaration reflects this for accurate classification
