M2 High-Speed Steel Coiled Rod

Hot-rolled bars and rods of M2 high-speed steel, wound irregularly into coils, used primarily for manufacturing cutting tools like drills and end mills. This product falls under HTS 7227.10.00.00 as it is specifically of high-speed steel, a type of alloy tool steel with tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium exceeding standard tool steel thresholds per chapter note (e). The irregular coil form distinguishes it from straight bars.

Alternative Classifications

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

7228.30Lower: 10% vs 35%

If cold-rolled or cold-drawn instead of hot-rolled

Cold-worked high-speed steel bars/rods shift to heading 7228, as 7227 covers only hot-rolled products.

7227.90.60Same rate: 35%

If other alloy steel not qualifying as high-speed

Non-high-speed alloy steel (e.g., lacking specific tool steel elements) falls under the general other alloy steel subheading.

7222.40.30Same rate: 35%

If in straight lengths, not coiled

Coilless hot-rolled bars/rods of high-speed steel are classified under angle, shapes, and sections in 7222.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide chemical composition certification confirming high-speed steel elements (e.g

>0.5% C, >5.5% W or Mo per note (e)); Ensure mill test reports verify hot-rolled irregular coil form; Watch for reclassification if further worked like polished or coated
