Hot-Rolled 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar
A 1-inch diameter round bar made from 304 grade stainless steel, containing approximately 8-10% nickel but certified under this subheading for specific low-nickel batch variants under 8%. It is hot-rolled and not further worked, used in structural applications like machinery frames. Falls under HTS 7222.19.0052 due to its hot-rolled form and nickel content specification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cold-rolled or cold-drawn
Cold-worked bars shift to 7222.30 as 'further worked' per Chapter 72 definitions.
If containing 8% or more nickel
Higher nickel content (e.g., standard 304 at 8-10.5%) classifies under 7222.11.00 subheading.
If fabricated into structural assemblies
Assembled into finished structures like frameworks moves to Chapter 73 as fabricated metal products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain mill test certificate verifying nickel content below 8% by weight to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation specifies hot-rolled, not cold-finished process
• Watch for rust discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
