Alternative Classifications

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

7213.91.60Same rate: 35%

If tempered, treated, or partly manufactured

Products subjected to surface treatments like polishing or coating fall under 'other' subheadings per Chapter 72 notes on 'further worked'.

7214.91.00Same rate: 35%

If of circular cross section 14 mm or more in diameter

Larger diameter hot-rolled bars/rods in coils shift to HTS 7214 due to size threshold exceeding 14 mm.

7228.30.80Same rate: 35%

If made of alloy steel instead of nonalloy steel

Alloy steel versions (with specified elements like chromium) are classified in Chapter 72 heading 7228, not 7213 for nonalloy.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact diameter measurement (<14 mm) and confirm nonalloy steel composition via mill test certificate to avoid reclassification

Ensure coils are irregularly wound and free of any surface treatments like coating or phosphatizing per Chapter 72 definition of 'further worked'
