Alternative Classifications

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

7219.32.00Same rate: 35%

If of common alloy steel, not stainless

Products without minimum chromium for stainless steel definition fall under Chapter 72 non-stainless flat-rolled steel.

7220.11.00.00Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If containing 15% or more chromium

Higher chromium content qualifies for the 'not less than 15 percent chromium' subheading per statistical breakout.

7222.40.30Same rate: 35%

If further worked, e.g., coated or polished

Surface treatments like coating or polishing classify as 'further worked' under chapter notes, moving to bars/rods of other shapes.
