Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the flat bar is hot-rolled and not in semi-finished form
Bars and rods of other alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, may apply if the product is not semi-finished.
If the product is in ingot or primary form
Ingots and other primary forms of other alloy steel are classified under heading 7224.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the flat bar is not further worked than primary hot-rolling or forging; any machining or finishing may reclassify it
• Keep records of the chromium content (≥10.5%) to confirm it is stainless steel, which would fall under a different heading
• Verify the product is not a 'part of general use' as defined in Section Note 2, which would exclude it from Chapter 72
