Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of other alloy steel
14 declarable lines
Heading 7227 covers bars and rods of other alloy steel that are hot-rolled and coiled in irregularly wound coils, the form commonly sold as wire rod. The heading splits first by steel type: high-speed steel, silico-manganese steel, and a residual other group. The other group is further split by tool steel vs non-tool steel, then by treatment, cross section, diameter, and specialty qualities such as ball-bearing, high-nickel, cold heading quality, and welding quality rod.
Products in this heading
- Wire rod coils of high-speed steel
- Silico-manganese steel wire rod for welding electrodes
- Tool steel wire rod in coils, not tempered or treated
- Ball-bearing steel wire rod in coils
- High-nickel alloy steel wire rod in coils
- Cold heading quality (CHQ) alloy steel wire rod
- Alloy steel wire rod of circular cross section under 14 mm diameter
- Alloy steel wire rod of circular cross section 19 mm diameter or more
How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the steel is alloy steel, not nonalloy or stainless, since those go to other headings.
- Confirm the product is hot-rolled and in irregularly wound coils, the defining form of the heading.
- Determine the steel type: high-speed steel, silico-manganese steel, or other.
- For other steel, decide whether it is tool steel, and if so whether it is tempered, treated or partly manufactured.
- For remaining lines, check specialty quality claims (ball-bearing, high-nickel, CHQ, welding quality) and then circular cross section and diameter.
Often confused with
- Heading 7222Stainless steel wire rod in coils
Stainless steel is a separate chapter 72 series and does not fall in heading 7227.
- Heading 7213Nonalloy steel wire rod in coils
Heading 7213 covers coiled hot-rolled bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel.
- Heading 7229Drawn wire of other alloy steel
Wire is a finished drawn product classified in heading 7229, not coiled rod.
- Heading 7228Other alloy steel bars and rods not in coils
Straight lengths and other non-coiled bars and rods go to heading 7228.
- Heading 7224Other alloy steel in ingots or semi-finished forms
Primary and semi-finished forms are classified in heading 7224, not as coiled rod.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for high-speed steel wire rod in coils?
High-speed steel bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils are classified under 7227.10.00.00, with a general (MFN) rate of Free.
What is the duty on silico-manganese steel wire rod?
Silico-manganese steel wire rod for welding is classified under 7227.20.00.30 and other silico-manganese rod under 7227.20.00.80, both with a general (MFN) rate of Free.
How do I classify alloy steel wire rod of circular cross section?
Use 7227.90.60.30 for diameter less than 14 mm, 7227.90.60.35 for 14 mm or more but less than 19 mm, and 7227.90.60.40 for 19 mm or more, all at a general (MFN) rate of Free.
