Overview

This HTS category, 7214, encompasses bars and rods manufactured from iron or non-alloy steel that have undergone specific foundational working processes. These include forging, hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or hot-extrusion. Importantly, this category also covers such products that have been subsequently twisted after the initial rolling process. The key is that further fabrication or working beyond these initial steps is excluded.

Distinguishing 7214 from its sibling categories within Section XV (Base Metals and Articles of Base Metal) requires careful consideration of material composition and initial processing. While other chapters might cover finished articles of iron and steel, or bars and rods made from alloy steel, Chapter 72 specifically deals with iron and non-alloy steel. Within Chapter 72, 7214 is distinct from categories covering semi-finished products, flat-rolled products, or bars and rods that have undergone more advanced working processes such as cold-forming or machining.

The subcategories within 7214 further refine the classification based on specific characteristics or intended uses. For instance, a distinction is made for bars and rods that are specifically forged, or those intended for use as concrete reinforcing bars and rods. Other subcategories address bars and rods made from free-cutting steel, or those that fall under a general "other" designation, allowing for the classification of a wide array of iron and non-alloy steel bars and rods that meet the initial processing criteria but do not fit into more specialized subdivisions.
