Alternative Classifications

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

7228.30Lower: 10% vs 35%

If hot-formed/cross-section reduced

Hot-rolled silico-manganese rods separate from cold-formed in tariff structure.

7213.91.30Same rate: 35%

If non-alloy steel base

Alloy threshold not met, falls to non-alloy cold-formed bars.

Import Tips & Compliance

Mill certificates must specify cold-forming and alloy per Chapter 72 definitions

Avoid declaring with further treatments like polishing, which constitutes 'further worked' per notes

Watch for diameter confusion with wire rod headings if under 5mm
