Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the rod is hot-rolled or hot-drawn
Hot-rolled stainless steel rods are classified separately.
If the rod is further worked, such as ground or polished
Additional working beyond cold-forming changes the tariff classification.
