Alternative Classifications

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

7228.50Same rate: 35%

If tool steel composition

Alloys meeting tool steel element specs (e.g., high Cr/C combos) from Chapter 72 note (e) classify separately from high-nickel alloys.

7228.70.30Same rate: 35%

If angles, shapes, or sections

Same high-nickel composition but different profiles (angles/shapes) fall under specific headings for those forms.

9802.00.80Lower: 10% vs 35%

If US goods returned after processing abroad

High-nickel bars exported for cold-finishing abroad and returned may qualify for duty-free entry under manufacturing provisions.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit detailed alloy composition certificates showing Ni >44%, Mo 15-17%, Cr 14.5-16.5% to confirm high-nickel status

Verify cold-forming process documentation; avoid shipments with any heat treatment beyond normalization
