Cold-Drawn 409 Stainless Steel Square Rod
Cold-drawn square rod of 409 stainless steel, a ferritic grade with negligible nickel (<0.5%), precisely matching HTS 7222.20.0071 for low-nickel stainless bars not further worked. Commonly used in exhaust systems and structural components.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If higher nickel alloys like 316
Austenitic grades like 316 with >8% nickel classify under the higher nickel statistical breakout.
If further worked
Chapter notes define 'further worked' (e.g., coated); such bars move to 7222.30 or 7222.40.
If tool steel grade
If meeting U.S. note (e) tool steel composition, classifies under 7228 for alloy tool steel bars.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit affidavits or lab tests confirming nickel below 8% and cold-drawn process to comply with statistical suffix
• Avoid bundling with further worked items; separate packaging prevents reclassification
