Alternative Classifications

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

7214.99.00Same rate: 35%

If carbon content under 0.25%

Lower carbon nonalloy bars (<0.25% C) fall into different 'other' subheading within 7214.99.

7214.91.00Same rate: 35%

If rectangular (not square) and specific dimensions

Rectangular cross-section bars have prioritized headings before 'other' circular/square provisions.

7207.20.00Same rate: 35%

If supplied in semi-finished billets

Less processed semi-finished products of >0.25% C go to 7207 before bar/rod stage.

Import Tips & Compliance

Carbon content certification is critical; C45 typically qualifies but verify exact analysis meets 0.25-0.6% range

Watch for twisted-after-rolling which has separate provisions; standard hot-rolled stays in this code

For square/rectangular sections, confirm not qualifying as 'concrete reinforcing' under note (c)
