Overview

This HTS category, 7221.00.00.05, specifically classifies bars and rods of stainless steel that are made of high-nickel alloy steel. These products are characterized by their composition, containing a significant proportion of nickel, which imparts specific metallurgical properties such as enhanced corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength. The hot-rolled, irregularly wound coil form is also a defining feature.

This classification distinguishes itself from other stainless steel bars and rods by its explicit material requirement. While other sibling categories might cover stainless steel in general or specific alloys, this node is dedicated solely to those with a "high-nickel alloy" composition, a critical factor for determining suitability in demanding applications and for specific customs duties.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this category hinges on confirming that the subject merchandise meets the definition of bars and rods, has been hot-rolled into irregularly wound coils, is made of stainless steel, and critically, is composed of a high-nickel alloy steel.
