Overview
This HTS category, 7213.99.00.60, encompasses hot-rolled iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods, supplied in irregularly wound coils, specifically those with a circular cross-section and a diameter of 19 millimeters or more. These are products of the steel industry, undergoing initial hot rolling processes and then coiled for ease of handling and transport before further processing or use.
The defining characteristic of this classification is the diameter of the steel bar or rod. It is distinguished from its sibling category, 7213.99.00.30, by this precise measurement. While 7213.99.00.30 covers items with diameters ranging from 14 mm up to, but not including, 19 mm, this category exclusively applies to those measuring 19 mm or greater. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within this code is final based on the criteria of hot-rolled, irregularly wound coil, of iron or non-alloy steel, circular cross-section, and a diameter of 19 mm or more. Importers and exporters should ensure all these physical attributes are confirmed to correctly apply this classification.
