7213.10.00.00 - Concrete reinforcing bars and rods 🖩

This HTS category, 7213.10.00.00, specifically covers concrete reinforcing bars and rods that are hot-rolled and supplied in irregularly wound coils. These items are characterized by their form and intended use in reinforcing concrete structures. The material composition is limited to iron or non-alloy steel, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 72.

The defining characteristic of this category is the specific mention of "concrete reinforcing bars and rods." This differentiates it from its sibling category, 7213.20.00, which is reserved for other hot-rolled bars and rods in irregularly wound coils made of free-cutting steel. While both fall under the umbrella of hot-rolled bars and rods in coils, the specific application and material designation for concrete reinforcement are the key distinguishing factors here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 7213.10.00.00 is therefore determined by the physical form (hot-rolled, irregularly wound coils) and the explicit identification of the merchandise as concrete reinforcing bars and rods, made from iron or non-alloy steel. Items that do not meet these precise criteria would be classified elsewhere.
