Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If still in wire rod form before drawing
Wire rods preceding bar production classify separately.
If imported as finished headed hinge pins
Screws, bolts, and similar headed articles move to 7318.
If further worked with phosphatizing
Chemical surface treatments per chapter note constitute 'further worked'.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify 'cold-heading quality' (CHQ) in documentation to support end-use but maintain bar classification
• Confirm no lubricants/coatings applied beyond cold-drawing lubricant residue
• Invoice must clearly state 'bar stock' not 'wire' to avoid 7213/7215 wire headings
