Cold-Finished 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar
A cold-formed round bar made from 304 stainless steel grade, containing approximately 8-10% nickel but classified here based on specific import declarations for less than 8% nickel content. It is not further worked beyond cold-finishing, fitting HTS 7222.20.0071 for stainless steel bars with low nickel. Used in structural applications requiring corrosion resistance.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing 8% or more nickel
Stainless steel bars shift to this subheading when nickel content meets or exceeds 8% threshold per statistical breakout.
If not stainless steel
Bars of alloy steel but without sufficient chromium (min 10.5%) for stainless classification fall under Chapter 72 heading 7214.
If further worked like polished
Cold-finished bars subjected to polishing or coating become 'further worked' per Chapter 72 notes, moving to 7222.30.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nickel content below 8% by weight and stainless steel composition to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation specifies cold-formed or cold-finished state without further surface treatments like coating or polishing
• Verify exact alloy grade as 304 typically exceeds 8% nickel; common pitfall is misdeclaration leading to higher duties under 7222.20.0070
