Alternative Classifications

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

7228.50Same rate: 35%

If high-speed steel

High-speed tool steels (with tungsten/molybdenum/vanadium exceeding tool steel specs) classify under separate high-speed provisions.

7228.30.80Same rate: 35%

If not qualifying as tool steel

Alloy steel bars not meeting tool steel element thresholds (e.g., lower chromium/carbon) fall under general alloy steel headings.

7228.70.30Same rate: 35%

If further worked

Bars subjected to polishing, coating, or other surface treatments beyond cold-finishing are 'further worked' per chapter notes.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify tool steel composition per U.S

Note (e) showing >1.2% carbon and >10.5% chromium to avoid reclassification

Provide mill test reports confirming cold-finished state and no further working like polishing or coating

Declare exact cross-sectional dimension; bars under 18 mm shift to different subheading
