Silico-Manganese Hot-Rolled Coil Rod for Construction Reinforcement from Mexico
Hot-rolled bars and rods of silico-manganese alloy steel, wound in irregularly shaped coils, used primarily for manufacturing concrete reinforcing bars. This product falls under HTS 7227.20.0080 as it is of silico-manganese steel (containing silicon and manganese as alloying elements) that does not meet criteria for concrete reinforcing bars or high-strength steel. The irregular coiling distinguishes it from straight lengths classified elsewhere.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition certification showing silicon and manganese alloy content to confirm silico-manganese classification; test reports may be required by CBP
• Ensure coils are documented as 'irregularly wound' to avoid reclassification to straight bar headings; provide mill test certificates
• Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes; inspect upon arrival and document condition at entry
