Alternative Classifications

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

7229.20.00Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If stainless high-speed steel composition

Stainless steel alloy wire (high chromium) moves to 7229.20 regardless of high-speed properties.

7228.50Lower: 10% vs 17.5%

If for industrial end-use bars vs wire

High-speed steel supplied as bars/rods for industrial machining classified in 7228.50.

7207.20.00Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If semi-finished wire rod

Semi-finished products of high-speed steel not drawn to final wire dimensions stay in 7207.
