Cold-Finished 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar

A cold-finished round bar made from 304 stainless steel with less than 8% nickel content (typically 8-10.5% but classified here based on certification), featuring a circular cross-section over 152.4 mm in diameter and not further worked beyond cold-forming. It falls under HTS 7222.20.0067 as other bars and rods of stainless steel, cold-formed, circular, large diameter, and low nickel per U.S. notes. Commonly used in structural 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 further worked such as polished or coated

Further worked stainless steel bars (e.g., polished, coated) shift to 7222.30 per Chapter 72 definition of 'further worked' surface treatments.

7222.20.00Same rate: 35%

If containing 8% or more nickel by weight

Higher nickel content stainless steel (e.g., 316 grade) classifies under separate statistical suffix in same heading.

7214.91.00Same rate: 35%

If not stainless steel

Non-stainless alloy steel bars and rods, cold-finished, move to Chapter 72 heading 7214.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify exact nickel content at entry to confirm <8% threshold per U.S

Chapter 72 notes; provide mill test certificates showing composition and cold-finishing process

Avoid misclassification by verifying no further working like polishing

Watch for partial rust allowances prohibited under Chapter notes
