7213.91.30.93 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 7213.91.30.93, pertains to hot-rolled bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel, wound in irregular coils, with a circular cross-section measuring less than 14 mm in diameter. Crucially, these products are not subjected to tempering or specific treatments that would alter their inherent metallurgical properties, nor are they considered partly manufactured beyond the initial hot-rolling and coiling process. This category captures a broad range of these steel products that do not fit into more specific applications.

This "Other" classification serves as a residual category for steel wire rods that do not meet the specific criteria for specialized uses such as tire cord quality, cold heading quality (CHQ), or welding quality. Unlike the sibling categories, which are defined by particular steel compositions or intended end-uses that enhance their suitability for specific manufacturing processes, this category encompasses general-purpose wire rods with standard hot-rolled properties. The defining characteristics are the material (iron or non-alloy steel), the manufacturing process (hot-rolled), the form (irregularly wound coils), and the diameter (less than 14 mm circular cross-section), without further refinement or qualification.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7213.91.30.93 signifies the final destination for steel wire rods that meet the general description but lack the specialized characteristics that would place them under more granular sibling headings. Importers and exporters should carefully review the physical dimensions, material composition, and absence of any specific treatments or qualifications when determining if their goods fall within this residual classification.
