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 supplied in irregularly wound coils
Hot-rolled bars and rods in coils are classified separately from straight bars.
If shaped as angles, shapes, or sections
Non-bar forms of other alloy steel are classified under a different item.
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
• Confirm the carbon and chromium content to ensure classification as other alloy steel, not stainless steel
• Keep documentation of the steel's composition and heat treatment for CBSA inspection
• Note that if the bar is cold-formed, it may fall under a different tariff item
