Overview
This HTS category encompasses hot-rolled bars and rods of stainless steel that are presented in irregularly wound coils. Specifically, these products must contain a nickel content by weight that is equal to or greater than 8 percent but less than 24 percent. The cross-sectional shape of these articles is circular.
This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 7221.00.00.17, solely on the basis of nickel content. While both categories cover hot-rolled stainless steel bars and rods of circular cross-section in irregularly wound coils, this specific subcategory is defined by a more precise nickel percentage range, excluding those with less than 8 percent nickel.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code is determined by the fulfillment of all preceding criteria: being a hot-rolled stainless steel bar or rod in irregularly wound coils, having a circular cross-section, and meeting the specified nickel content of 8 percent or more but less than 24 percent by weight.
