Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If after heat treatment and surface grinding
Ground or machined tool steel bars classify as further worked in 7228, not semi-finished.
If in ingot form rather than semi-finished
Primary ingots of tool steel fall under 7207 before hot-rolling into slabs.
If circular or other non-rectangular cross-section
Non-rectangular tool steel semi-finished products use different subheading.
