Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the bar is hot-rolled instead of cold-formed
Hot-rolled stainless steel bars are classified under a different subheading.
If the bar is further worked, such as machined or surface-treated
Further working beyond cold-forming changes classification.
