Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If exact ball-bearing steel per note (h)
Strict composition limits in note (h) qualify for ball-bearing steel subheading.
If cold-finished for precision bearings
Precision bearing stock often cold-drawn, moving to 7228.30.
If imported as finished bearing components
Manufactured into bearings shifts to Chapter 84/85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• 52100 borders ball-bearing steel; precise chemistry analysis prevents reclassification
• Specify 'merchant bar' vs 'bearing quality' on docs to maintain 7228.60 status
• Ensure straightness tolerance meets bar specs, not wire rod tolerances
