If made of cast iron or steel but not specifically for rolling mills

Plain cast or forged steel articles not dedicated to rolling mill use fall under other articles of iron or steel in Chapter 73.

8483.90Lower: 12.8% vs 35%

If imported as parts of complete rolling mill machinery sets

Parts of specific machines like rolling mills may classify under transmission or other machinery parts if not standalone rolls.

8202.31.00Same rate: 35%

If classified as tools rather than mill components

Rolls functioning more as interchangeable tools for metalworking machines are covered in Chapter 82 headings for saw blades and similar.
