7228.30Lower: 10% vs 35%

If containing tool steel alloying elements like >10.5% Cr

Alloy tool steels per U.S. Note (e) classify in 7228, not nonalloy 7214.

7215.90.50.00Same rate: 35%

If further worked with polishing or coating

Chapter note defines 'further worked' surface treatments moving to 7215.

7214.20.00.00Same rate: 35%

If concrete reinforcing bars with ribs/indentations

Import Tips & Compliance

Distinguish from alloy tool steels in note (e); certify absence of Cr>1.25% or other elements to remain nonalloy

Rust/discoloration before entry gets no duty allowance per chapter note; inspect shipments carefully

Use precise HTS statistical reporting for rounds to avoid penalties on diameter/form declarations
