7213.91.60.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 7213.91.60.00, covers "Other" bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of iron or non-alloy steel, specifically those of circular cross-section measuring less than 14 mm in diameter. This category acts as a residual classification for products that meet the broader criteria of hot-rolled coils but do not fall into more specific sub-classifications based on their composition or precise dimensions.

This classification distinguishes itself from the sibling category 7213.91.45.00 by the absence of a specific carbon content requirement. While 7213.91.45.00 exclusively covers iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods containing 0.6 percent or more carbon by weight, this category 7213.91.60.00 encompasses those with lower carbon content or where the carbon content is not a defining characteristic for classification within this HTS chapter. The common thread for both is their form as hot-rolled coils of circular cross-section under 14mm in diameter.

As this node is a leaf node, it represents the most specific level of classification for this particular group of steel products within the HTS. Therefore, the focus for practical classification relies on confirming that the product is indeed hot-rolled, supplied in irregularly wound coils, made of iron or non-alloy steel, has a circular cross-section, and measures less than 14 mm in diameter, and does not meet the specific carbon threshold of its sibling. Examples would include general-purpose steel wire rods used in manufacturing that are not specifically designated for high-carbon applications.
