Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ball-bearing steel per note (h)
Specific composition matching ball-bearing steel note (h) (0.95-1.13% C, 1.25-1.65% Cr) goes to 7227.90.6030.
If for non-tool alloy steel
Fails tool steel definitions in note (e); treated as circular cross-section alloy steel bars/rods.
If sold as straightened bars, not coils
Heading 7228 covers hot-rolled products not in coils, even if same tool steel composition.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit detailed alloy analysis reports confirming note (e)(iii) criteria to CBP upon entry
• Label coils clearly as 'tool steel' with grade; mislabeling can lead to 7213 reclassification
• Check for any further working (e.g
• polishing) which excludes from hot-rolled heading per chapter notes
