Products classified under HTS 7215.90.10.00
Terne-Coated Roofing Bars
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel bars with terne (lead-tin) coating for historic roofing applications. Under HTS 7215.90.10.00 as alloy metal-coated bars/rods not cold-formed. Traditional corrosion protection method.
Sherardized Mild Steel Rods
Hot-rolled mild steel rods with zinc-iron alloy coating produced by sherardizing process for maximum corrosion protection. HTS 7215.90.10.00 covers diffusion metal coatings on nonalloy bars not cold-formed. Used in coastal construction.
Zinc-Plated Anchor Rods
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel anchor rods for concrete foundations, hot-dip galvanized for embedment durability. Classified HTS 7215.90.10.00 as metal-coated other bars not cold-formed. Essential for structural anchoring.
Galvannealed Structural Bars
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel structural bars with galvannealed (zinc-iron alloy) coating for painted building frameworks. HTS 7215.90.10.00 for metal-coated bars/rods not cold-formed. Provides paint adhesion base layer.
Galvanized Carbon Steel Rebar
Hot-rolled carbon steel reinforcing bars coated with zinc plating to prevent corrosion, used in concrete construction. Classified under HTS 7215.90.10.00 as other bars and rods of nonalloy steel that are plated or coated with metal but not cold-formed. The hot-rolled process and metal coating distinguish it from cold-formed or uncoated products.
Zinc-Plated Mild Steel Flat Bars
Hot-rolled flat bars of nonalloy mild steel with electrolytic zinc plating for rust protection, commonly used in fabrication and machinery frames. Falls under HTS 7215.90.10.00 as other nonalloy steel bars, metal-coated but not cold-formed. The plating qualifies as 'coated with metal' per chapter notes.
Tin-Plated Carbon Steel Rounds
Hot-rolled round bars of nonalloy carbon steel with tin coating, used in manufacturing chains and fasteners. HTS 7215.90.10.00 covers other nonalloy steel rods/bars plated with metal (tin qualifies) and not cold-formed. Chapter note confirms metal coating includes tin plating.
Nickel-Plated Low Carbon Steel Rods
Hot-rolled low carbon nonalloy steel rods with nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance in marine hardware. HTS 7215.90.10.00 applies to plated/coated nonalloy steel bars/rods not cold-formed. Nickel counts as metal coating per chapter definitions.
Chromium-Plated Nonalloy Steel Shafts
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel round shafts with hard chromium plating for wear resistance in industrial machinery. Classified in HTS 7215.90.10.00 as other metal-coated bars/rods, not cold-formed. Plating is surface treatment but doesn't qualify as 'further worked' per chapter notes.
Galvanized Concrete Tie Bars
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel bars zinc-coated for use as concrete wall ties in construction formwork. HTS 7215.90.10.00 for other coated nonalloy bars not cold-formed or deformed. Lacks indentations/ribs distinguishing it from reinforcing bars.
Aluminum-Coated Exhaust Rods
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel rods with aluminized coating for high-temperature automotive exhaust components. Under HTS 7215.90.10.00 as metal-coated (aluminum qualifies) other bars/rods, not cold-formed. Coating provides heat and corrosion resistance.
Zinc-Coated Fence Posts
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel bars formed into fence post profiles, galvanized for outdoor durability. HTS 7215.90.10.00 covers metal-coated other bars not cold-formed (hot-rolled shapes qualify). Used in agricultural and perimeter fencing.
Metal-Coated Grating Bars
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel bearing bars for industrial floor gratings, zinc plated for corrosion resistance. Classified HTS 7215.90.10.00 as other metal-coated bars/rods not cold-formed. Used in walkways and platforms.
Clad Copper Steel Rounds
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel cores clad with copper plating for electrical grounding rods. HTS 7215.90.10.00 for metal-coated (copper) other bars/rods not cold-formed. Cladding per chapter note qualifies as metal coating.
Hot-Dipped Galvanized Square Steel Bars
Nonalloy steel square bars hot-rolled and coated with hot-dipped zinc for outdoor structural applications like fencing. Under HTS 7215.90.10.00 as metal-coated (zinc), other bars/rods, not cold-formed. Zinc coating provides corrosion resistance without altering base classification.
