About heading 7228

Other bars and rods of other alloy steel; angles, shapes and sections, of other alloy steel; hollow drill bars and rods, of alloy or nonalloy steel

Heading 7228 covers bars, rods, angles, shapes, sections and hollow drill bars of alloy steel other than stainless steel. The heading splits first by product form and working: high-speed steel and silico-manganese steel bars, hot-rolled or extruded bars, forged bars, cold-formed bars, other bars, angles and sections, and hollow drill bars. Every line in this heading carries a general (MFN) rate of Free.

Frequently asked questions

What is the HTS code for high-speed steel bars?

Bars and rods of high-speed steel that are not cold-formed go in 7228.10.00.10. Cold-formed high-speed steel bars go in 7228.10.00.30 if the maximum cross-sectional dimension is less than 18 mm, or 7228.10.00.60 if it is 18 mm or more. All three carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.

What is the duty on alloy steel angles and shapes?

Hot-rolled alloy steel U, I, H and T sections that are not drilled, punched or otherwise advanced are classified in 7228.70.30.10. Other hot-rolled angles and shapes of 76 mm or more are in 7228.70.30.20 and 7228.70.30.41. The general (MFN) rate for these lines is Free.

How do I classify cold-finished alloy steel bars?

First decide whether the steel is tool steel. Cold-finished tool steel bars of ball-bearing steel go in 7228.50.10.10, and other tool steel bars go in lines such as 7228.50.10.40, at a general (MFN) rate of Free. Cold-finished alloy steel that is not tool steel goes in 7228.50.50.15 for sizes under 76 mm, also Free.
