Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If concrete reinforcing type with ribs/deformations
Deformed rebar per US note (c) classifies in 7214, even if cold-finished.
If further worked with polishing or coating
US Chapter note defines 'further worked' surface treatments moving product to 7215.90.
If imported as finished dowel pin with machined ends
Completed articles of iron/steel classify as other articles in 7326, not semi-finished bars.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificate (MTC) confirming nonalloy composition and carbon limit
• Declare exact cross-sectional dimensions; hexagonal shapes measured across flats must be <76 mm
• Avoid shipping with protective oils that could be interpreted as 'chemical surface treatment' triggering further worked status
