Alternative Classifications

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

7224.90.00Same rate: 35%

If alloy tool steel per note (e)

Tool steels with specific Cr/C combos (note e) shift to Chapter 72 alloy semifinished headings.

7215.90.10.00Same rate: 35%

If rolled into other bars with bright finish

Bright/polished bars become 'further worked' under 7215.

7207Same rate: 35%

If containing alloying elements like Mo or W

Any qualifying alloy content moves to 7207.50 semifinished alloys.

Import Tips & Compliance

Document carbon exceeding 0.25% to avoid low-carbon heading; inspect for no ribs/grooves per reinforcing bar note

Pitfall: classifying as tool steel if alloyed elements present

Use heat number traceability
