Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled instead
Process determines heading; hot-rolled hexagonal rods in separate other bars subheading.
If wire-rod diameter
Cold-drawn products under 14mm diameter classify as wire-rods in Chapter 72.
If burnished finish
Burnishing is further working per notes, moving to worked bars/rods.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify non-tool steel status with element analysis (e.g
• <1.2% C, Cr levels) matching chapter exclusions
• Document cold-forming vs. drawing; drawn wire-rods shift to 7228.90
• Bundle imports carefully; sets with fittings may classify as articles under 7326
