Cold-Formed Zinc-Coated Carbon Steel Rebar
Cold-formed bars and rods of nonalloy steel with indentations for concrete reinforcement, plated with zinc for corrosion resistance. Classified under HTS 7215.90.30.00 as other cold-formed bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel that are plated or coated with metal. Meets the definition of concrete reinforcing bars per U.S. Chapter 72 notes when featuring deformations produced during rolling.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled instead of cold-formed
Hot-rolled concrete reinforcing bars with circular cross-section fall under heading 7213, while cold-formed moves to 7215.
If fabricated into structural assemblies
Further worked into finished structures like bridges changes classification from bars/rods to fabricated steel structures.
If containing indentations but alloy steel
Alloy steel versions (> specific alloy limits) shift to Chapter 72 alloy headings like 7217.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify nonalloy composition (<0.3% alloy elements) and plating thickness to avoid reclassification; provide mill test reports confirming cold-forming process; watch for rust/discoloration claims as no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
