Alternative Classifications

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

7215.10.00.80Same rate: 35%

If other than alloy steel

Non-alloy grades of similar wire go to heading 7215 for other bars/rods not cold-formed.

7229.90Same rate: 35%

If diameter under 1.5 mm after import processing

Statistical breakout changes if drawn thinner post-entry, but import classification based on entered condition.

8414.90Lower: 10% vs 35%

If imported as complete compressor valve assemblies

Assembled into machinery parts shifts to Chapter 84 for parts of compressors.

Import Tips & Compliance

Label coils clearly with alloy grade and diameter; test for conformance to note (d) razor blade steel exclusion

Use proper packaging to prevent rust, as no duty reduction allowed
