Alternative Classifications

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

7213.91Lower: 10% vs 35%

If containing indentations, ribs, or twisted after rolling

Falls under concrete reinforcing bars/rods per Chapter 72 note (c), shifting to 7213 for deformed reinforcing bars.

7214.99.00Same rate: 35%

If carbon content under 0.25% or 0.6%+

Carbon content determines subheading; lower/higher carbon moves to other rectangular bar categories in 7214.99.

7228.30Lower: 10% vs 35%

If alloy steel with specified elements exceeding nonalloy limits

Chapter 72 notes define alloy vs nonalloy steel; even small additions like chromium >0.3% shift to Chapter 72 alloy headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificate verifying carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification

Measure cross-section precisely; square or near-square profiles shift to different subheadings within 7214

Confirm no further working (polishing, coating) occurred post-hot-rolling to maintain classification
