7207.19.00.30 - Of circular cross section

This HTS category, 7207.19.00.30, specifically covers semifinished products of iron or nonalloy steel that contain less than 0.25 percent by weight of carbon and are of a circular cross-section. These are essentially intermediate forms of steel, such as billets, blooms, or slabs, that have been hot-rolled or otherwise processed into a round shape, ready for further manufacturing processes like drawing into wire or rolling into bars. The key defining characteristics are the low carbon content and the specific round geometry.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 7207.19.00.90 ("Other"), by the precise geometric characteristic of a circular cross-section. While both categories fall under "Other" semifinished products with less than 0.25 percent carbon, this specific code requires the goods to be round. The sibling category would encompass other shapes of semifinished products within this carbon content range, such as squares, rectangles, or irregular shapes that are not circular.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7207.19.00.30 depends solely on fulfilling the criteria of being a semifinished iron or nonalloy steel product with under 0.25 percent carbon and possessing a circular cross-section. Examples include round steel billets, wire rods, or bloom sections that are inherently circular.
