AISI 304L Stainless Steel Round Bar
A round bar made from AISI 304L stainless steel with less than 8% nickel content, featuring a maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 152.4 mm. Classified under HTS 7222.30.00.82 as other bars and rods of stainless steel, not angles/shapes/sections, due to its circular cross-section and alloy composition meeting the nickel limit. Commonly used in structural applications requiring corrosion resistance.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If polished, coated, or otherwise further worked
Chapter notes define 'further worked' surface treatments (polishing, coating) that move products out of 7222.30 to 7222.40.
If not stainless steel alloy
Lacks minimum chromium content for stainless classification, falling under Chapter 72 non-alloy steel bars.
If containing 8% or more nickel
Higher nickel alloy compositions are segregated to separate statistical suffix within the same heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify chemical composition certificate confirming <8% nickel to avoid reclassification under higher nickel headings
• Ensure mill test reports document maximum cross-sectional dimension >152.4 mm for proper statistical reporting
• Watch for 'further worked' treatments like polishing that could shift to 7222.40 subheadings
