Electroslag Remelted 316L Stainless Steel Round Bar

A 316L stainless steel bar produced via electroslag remelting with a circular cross-section, not further worked beyond hot-rolling. This specialty remelting process refines the microstructure for superior cleanliness and uniformity, classifying it under HTS 7222.11.00.01 due to the specific electroslag method and stainless steel composition.

Alternative Classifications

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

7222.11.00Same rate: 35%

If vacuum arc remelted instead of electroslag

Same subheading but distinguishes vacuum arc remelting process as specified separately.

7222.19.00Same rate: 35%

If hot-rolled but standard process without remelting

Lacks electroslag or vacuum arc remelting, falling under other circular cross-section stainless bars.

7222.30.00Same rate: 35%

If further worked like polished or coated

Chapter note defines 'further worked' surface treatments moving it out of not-further-worked category.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify electroslag remelting process with mill test reports to avoid reclassification as standard hot-rolled bars

Provide chemical composition analysis confirming stainless steel alloy per chapter note definitions

Ensure circular cross-section measurement documentation; common pitfall is mismeasuring as non-circular shapes
