Other bars and rods of stainless steel; angles, shapes and sections of stainless steel
31 declarable lines
Heading 7222 covers stainless steel bars and rods that are not flat-rolled, plus stainless steel angles, shapes and sections. It is split first by form and working: hot-rolled or extruded bars (7222.11 circular, 7222.19 other), cold-formed bars (7222.20), other bars and rods (7222.30), and angles, shapes and sections (7222.40). Below that, lines turn on cross-section shape, size and nickel content.
Products in this heading
- Hot-rolled stainless steel round bar 20 mm in diameter
- Cold-finished stainless steel hex bar for machining
- Stainless steel flat bar for fabrication
- Hot-rolled stainless steel equal leg angle
- Stainless steel channel section
- Electroslag remelted stainless steel bar stock
- Stainless steel square bar, cold drawn
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the metal is stainless steel; nonalloy steel bars go to headings 7214 or 7215 and alloy steel bars to 7228
- Identify the form: bars and rods versus angles, shapes and sections
- For bars and rods, decide whether they are hot-rolled or extruded, cold-formed or cold-finished, or further worked (other bars and rods)
- Note the cross-section: circular versus other, since circular hot-rolled bars split at 7222.11 and all other shapes at 7222.19
- Check nickel content and the maximum cross-sectional dimension, because size thresholds (18 mm, 80 mm, 152.4 mm) and nickel bands decide the 8-digit line
Often confused with
- Heading 7219Stainless steel sheet or plate
Flat-rolled products of stainless steel 600 mm or wider are in heading 7219, not bars.
- Heading 7220Stainless steel strip or coil under 600 mm wide
Flat-rolled stainless steel of a width less than 600 mm goes to heading 7220.
- Heading 7218Stainless steel ingots, blooms or billets
Primary and semi-finished stainless steel forms are in heading 7218, not finished bars.
- Heading 7216Hot-rolled angle of nonalloy steel
Angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel belong to heading 7216.
- Heading 7214Hot-rolled round bar of nonalloy steel
Bars and rods of nonalloy steel are in heading 7214; heading 7222 requires stainless steel.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for hot-rolled stainless steel round bar?
Hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded circular stainless bar with a maximum cross-sectional dimension under 152.4 mm and less than 8% nickel is 7222.11.00.57, general (MFN) rate Free. If it contains 8% or more but less than 24% nickel, use 7222.11.00.59, also Free.
What is the duty on stainless steel angles?
Hot-rolled stainless steel angles with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 80 mm or more are 7222.40.30.25 at a general (MFN) rate of Free. Angles under 80 mm are 7222.40.30.65, also Free.
How do I classify cold-finished stainless steel bar?
Cold-formed or cold-finished stainless bars fall in 7222.20. A circular bar 18 mm or more and under 152.4 mm with less than 8% nickel is 7222.20.00.62, general (MFN) rate Free; non-circular cold-finished bar with less than 8% nickel is 7222.20.00.71, also Free.
