7213.99.00 - Other

This classification covers hot-rolled bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel that are wound into irregular coils, but do not fit into any more specific categories within 7213. This includes products where the cross-sectional shape is not circular or where the cross-sectional dimensions fall outside the specific parameters of other subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7213.91, is crucial. While 7213.91 specifically addresses circular cross-section bars and rods with a diameter less than 14 mm, this "Other" category encompasses all other irregular coils of hot-rolled iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that do not meet that specific dimensional or shape criteria.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. A primary distinction is made based on the cross-sectional shape: "Of circular cross section" will apply to circular coils not covered by 7213.91, and "Other" will capture all remaining non-circular cross-section bars and rods. These subcategories allow for more precise tariff application based on the fundamental physical characteristics of the steel product.
