Epoxy-Coated Rebar #8 CRC from Germany
Corrosion-resistant epoxy-coated #8 rebar (1" diameter) with deformed surface for concrete, meeting CRSI standards. However, epoxy coating constitutes 'further worked' per Chapter 72 note (coating with nonmetallic substances), so not classifiable here - example shows common misclassification risk.

Import Tips
• Bare uncoated bars only for 7214.20; epoxy coating requires 7217.10 classification as coated products
• Strip coating for inspection if declared as bare rebar - CBP will reclassify
• Declare coating thickness/type accurately; common audit trigger
