7222.20.00.71/Cold-Finished 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar/China

Cold-Finished 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar from China

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.

Import Tips

• 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
