More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the rod is not specifically silico-manganese
Other bars and rods of alloy steel, not further worked than cold-formed, if the alloy composition differs.
If the rod is further worked
Bars and rods of alloy steel, not elsewhere specified, if additional processing occurs.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the rod is not further worked beyond cold-forming, such as machining or coating
• Provide alloy composition documentation to confirm silico-manganese steel
• Verify the rod is not a hollow drill bar, which would be classified elsewhere
