Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7227.90.00Same rate: Free

If the steel contains other alloying elements exceeding silico-manganese limits

Other alloy steel bars and rods in coils may apply for different alloy compositions.

7213.91.00Same rate: Free

If the steel is non-alloy

Non-alloy steel wire rod in coils may apply if the silico-manganese definition is not met.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Confirm the product is in irregularly wound coils and not further worked than hot-rolled, as drawing into wire would change classification

• Provide a certificate of analysis to verify silico-manganese composition per subheading note 1(e)

• Ensure the rod is not classified as welding quality wire rod under statistical note 4, which may have different statistical reporting
