Cold-Finished 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar 10mm

A cold-finished round bar of 304 stainless steel with a 10 mm diameter and less than 8% nickel content, not further worked beyond cold-forming. This falls under HTS 7222.20.0041 due to its circular cross-section under 18 mm, stainless steel composition, and minimal nickel. Commonly used in precision mechanical applications requiring corrosion resistance.

Alternative Classifications

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

7222.30.00Same rate: 35%

If containing 8% or more nickel by weight

Higher nickel content shifts classification within the same cold-finished circular bar structure but to a different nickel threshold subheading.

7222.11.00Same rate: 35%

If hot-rolled rather than cold-finished

Hot-rolled bars and rods of stainless steel fall under 7222.11, as processing method determines the 'not further worked' category.

7326.90.86Higher: 37.9% vs 35%

If imported as finished machine parts rather than raw bar stock

Articles of iron or steel that are machined or further fabricated are classified in Chapter 73 based on their end-use as parts, not as semi-finished bars.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify nickel content via certified mill test reports to confirm <8% for this subheading; ensure diameter measurement is precise as it determines cross-section limit

Declare as 'not further worked' with evidence of only cold-forming process to avoid reclassification
