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 rods are cored with flux rather than coated
Flux-cored rods are classified separately from coated electrodes.
If imported as bare mild steel wire without flux coating
Uncoated wire for welding is classified under iron or non-alloy steel wire.

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
• Classify the rods as coated electrodes of base metal for electric arc-welding, not as plain wire
• Ensure the flux coating is intact and not damaged during transport, as this may affect classification
• Provide the country of origin and any applicable trade agreement certificates to claim preferential duty rates
