Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of stainless steel
6 declarable lines
Heading 7221 covers stainless steel bars and rods that are hot-rolled and wound into irregularly wound coils, which is the coil form sold for drawing, re-rolling or further processing. The heading splits first by high-nickel alloy steel, then for other goods by whether the cross section is circular, and if circular by diameter and, for small diameters, by nickel content. All declarable lines in this heading carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.
Products in this heading
- Hot-rolled stainless steel wire rod in irregularly wound coils
- Stainless steel coiled bar stock of circular cross section, 10 mm diameter, 6% nickel
- Stainless steel coiled rod of circular cross section, 12 mm diameter, 10% nickel

- High-nickel alloy steel bars in irregularly wound coils
- Hot-rolled stainless steel rod in coils with a hexagonal cross section
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the goods are stainless steel, not nonalloy steel or another alloy steel.
- Confirm the goods are hot-rolled bars and rods in irregularly wound coils, not wire, not straight lengths, not flat-rolled.
- Check whether the steel is high-nickel alloy steel, which takes 7221.00.00.05 regardless of size.
- For other goods, determine whether the cross section is circular.
- For circular cross sections, measure the diameter and, where the diameter is less than 14 mm, determine the nickel content by weight.
Often confused with
- Heading 7223Stainless steel wire, cold-drawn in coils
Wire is drawn rather than hot-rolled in irregularly wound coils.
- Heading 7222Stainless steel bars and rods supplied straight, not in coils
Heading 7222 covers other bars and rods of stainless steel, including angles and shapes.
- Heading 7219Flat-rolled stainless steel coil of 600 mm or more in width
Flat-rolled products of any width are classified outside the bar and rod headings.
- Heading 7213Hot-rolled coiled bars of iron or nonalloy steel
Heading 7213 covers the same coil form in nonalloy steel.
- Heading 7227Hot-rolled coiled bars of other alloy steel, not stainless
Alloy steel other than stainless steel in coiled bar form falls in heading 7227.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for hot-rolled stainless steel wire rod in coils?
It depends on the cross section and size. A circular rod under 14 mm in diameter with less than 8% nickel is classified under 7221.00.00.17, and a circular rod of 19 mm or more in diameter is classified under 7221.00.00.45.
What is the duty on stainless steel bars in irregularly wound coils?
The general (MFN) rate is Free on every line in heading 7221, including 7221.00.00.30 for circular cross sections of 14 mm or more but less than 19 mm in diameter and 7221.00.00.75 for non-circular or other forms.
How do I classify a coiled stainless rod with a circular cross section of 12 mm and 10% nickel?
Because the diameter is under 14 mm and the nickel content is 8% or more but less than 24%, it falls under 7221.00.00.18, which carries a general (MFN) rate of Free.
