Alternative Classifications

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

7228.30.80Same rate: 35%

If smaller dimensions

Narrower sections may classify as 'bars and rods' rather than structural shapes.

7228.80.00.00Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If phosphatized or oiled

Chemical surface treatments count as 'further worked' per Chapter notes, moving to 7228.80.

7216Lower: 10% vs 35%

If carbon steel equivalent

Non-alloy versions use 7216.92 for similar hot-rolled shapes.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Submit chemical analysis reports proving >1.5% chromium or other alloying for 7228 classification

β€’ Specify hot-rolled status; cold-formed channels go to 7216.92 or 7228.72

β€’ Check for minimum width/thickness to avoid confusion with bars under 7228.30
