Cold-Finished 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar 10mm from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• 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
