Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not qualifying under statistical note 5 specifications
Non-tire cord quality rods of similar dimensions fall under the 'other' category within the untempered subcategory.
If containing indentations or deformations
Rods with concrete reinforcing features like ribs or grooves classify under 7213.50 provisions.
If imported as articles rather than raw rod
Finished tire cord products or pre-drawn wires classify as steel wire articles in chapter 73.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide chemical analysis certificates confirming statistical note 5 compliance (e.g
• carbon >0.6%, low residuals); measure and declare cross-section precisely; store in dry conditions to prevent surface rust ineligible for duty adjustment
