Other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling
18 declarable lines
Heading 7214 covers bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel that are not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, and it also covers bars twisted after rolling. The heading is split first by production type and product: forged bars, concrete reinforcing bars, and free-cutting steel bars. All remaining bars fall under 7214.91 if rectangular in cross-section, or 7214.99 for rounds and all other shapes, then by carbon content and by size.
Products in this heading
- Concrete reinforcing bar (rebar) for construction
- Hot-rolled round steel bar stock for machining
- Forged steel shaft blanks
- Free-cutting steel bar containing lead for screw machine work
- Square and rectangular hot-rolled steel bars
- Twisted steel bar for concrete reinforcement
- Hot-extruded nonalloy steel rod in straight lengths
How to choose the right subheading
- Production method: forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, and not further worked.
- Whether the bar is concrete reinforcing bar, which has its own subheading.
- Whether the steel is free-cutting steel, and whether it contains 0.1% or more of lead by weight.
- Shape of cross-section: rectangular (other than square) is 7214.91, everything else is 7214.99.
- Carbon content (under 0.25, 0.25 to under 0.6, or 0.6% and over) and, for rectangular bars, maximum cross-section size and, for rounds, diameter.
Often confused with
- Heading 7213Hot-rolled steel bar in irregularly wound coils
Coiled bars and rods are classified in 7213, not in 7214.
- Heading 7215Cold-finished or cold-drawn steel bar
Bars worked beyond hot rolling, such as cold drawing, go to 7215.
- Heading 7222Stainless steel bar
7214 covers only iron and nonalloy steel; stainless bars are in 7222.
- Heading 7216Angles, shapes and sections of nonalloy steel
Angles and shapes are a separate heading from bars and rods.
- Heading 7217Wire of nonalloy steel
Wire is drawn and classified in 7217, not as bar.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for concrete reinforcing bars?
Concrete reinforcing bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel are classified under 7214.20.00.00. The general (MFN) rate for this code is Free.
What is the duty on hot-rolled round nonalloy steel bar under 76 mm diameter with less than 0.25% carbon?
That bar is classified under 7214.99.00.16. The general (MFN) rate for this code is Free.
How do I classify a rectangular hot-rolled nonalloy steel bar with 0.3% carbon?
Rectangular (other than square) bars with 0.25% or more but less than 0.6% carbon go under 7214.91.00.60. The general (MFN) rate for this code is Free.
