Overview
This HTS category, 7221.00.00.30, specifically classifies stainless steel bars and rods that have been hot-rolled and are provided in irregularly wound coils. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this particular subcategory is the cross-sectional diameter of the bar or rod, which must be 14 millimeters or greater, but strictly less than 19 millimeters. These are typically used in various manufacturing processes where the specific diameter and stainless steel properties are required.
To properly classify goods under this heading, it is crucial to distinguish them from their sibling categories. This category differs from the sibling with a diameter of less than 14 mm, which handles smaller diameter stainless steel coils. It also differs from the sibling category of 19 mm or more, which is for significantly larger diameter stainless steel bars and rods. The precise measurement of the diameter is the sole determinant for differentiating between these closely related classifications.
As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7221.00.00.30 is final based on the material (stainless steel), processing (hot-rolled), form (irregularly wound coils), and the specific diameter range (14 mm to less than 19 mm). Importers and exporters must ensure that their goods precisely meet these criteria to avoid misclassification and potential customs delays or penalties.
