Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7225.50Same rate: 35%

If ball-bearing steel per note (h)

Specific low-impurity alloy tool steels for bearings have separate statistical reporting numbers.

7226.91.05Same rate: 35%

If further worked (e.g., coated surface)

Any polishing, coating, or chemical treatment moves product to 'further worked' headings in 7226.

7219.31.00Same rate: 35%

If not alloy but high-strength plain carbon steel

Failing tool steel composition tests shifts to non-alloy flat-rolled steel categories.
