Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as covered electrodes
Flux-coated electrodes (not cored) are under 8311.10; internal cored rods are 'other'.
If for non-flux cored alloy steel rods
Alloy steel bars/rods without flux for welding purposes revert to Chapter 72 classifications.
