Alternative Classifications

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

7222.11.00Same rate: 35%

If cold-rolled or drawn after hot-rolling

Cold-worked stainless steel bars/rods shift to Chapter 72 heading 7222, regardless of nickel content.

7221.00.00.30Same rate: 35%

If containing 8% or more nickel by weight

Higher nickel content stainless steels are classified in the parallel subheading 7221.00.0030 within the same heading.

7213.91.30Same rate: 35%

If not stainless steel

Non-stainless alloy steel bars/rods in coils fall under heading 7213, based on material composition excluding chromium/nickel thresholds for stainless.

Our AI classifier can analyze your specific product and recommend the correct HTS code with confidence.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify nickel content via certified mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm <8% for this subheading; exceedance shifts to other nickel-bearing categories

Ensure proper documentation of hot-rolled condition and coil form; cold-drawn equivalents require different HTS classification

Avoid common pitfalls like rust discoloration claims—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
