Cold-Finished 316 Stainless Steel Round Bar 12mm
A cold-finished round bar made from 316 stainless steel alloy containing approximately 10-14% nickel by weight, with a circular cross-section of 12 mm diameter, less than 18 mm. Classified under HTS 7222.20.0043 as a stainless steel bar not further worked beyond cold-finishing, specifically for alloys with 8-24% nickel content. Used in marine and chemical processing applications due to its corrosion resistance.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing less than 8% nickel
Lower nickel content stainless steel bars fall under the general 7222.11 subheading for circular cross-section bars under 18 mm.
If further worked beyond cold-finishing (e.g., polished or coated)
Any surface treatment like polishing or coating changes classification to 'other bars and rods' in 7222.30 per Chapter 72 notes.
If angular cross-section rather than circular
Angles, shapes, and sections of stainless steel are classified separately from round bars in 7222.40.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying nickel content between 8-24% by weight to confirm classification under this subheading
• Measure and document maximum circular cross-section to ensure it's under 18 mm; larger dimensions shift to different statistical suffixes
• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying cold-rolled bars as hot-rolled, which would move to 7221 headings
