Cold-Finished 316 Stainless Steel Round Bar 200mm Diameter from Japan
A cold-finished round bar made from 316 stainless steel, containing approximately 10-14% nickel by weight, with a circular cross-section measuring 200mm in diameter (exceeding 152.4mm). Classified under HTS 7222.20.0069 due to its stainless steel composition, cold-formed processing, large diameter, and nickel content between 8-24%. Used in heavy-duty marine and chemical processing equipment.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying nickel content (8-24%) and stainless steel composition to avoid reclassification
• Measure and document exact maximum circular cross-sectional dimension to confirm >152.4mm threshold
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as hot-rolled; cold-finished surface finish determines heading 7222 classification
