7222.19.00.06 - Of high-nickel alloy steel

This HTS classification covers bars and rods of stainless steel that have undergone hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion processes, and are not further worked. Specifically, this category pertains to such items made from high-nickel alloy steel. High-nickel alloys are characterized by their significant nickel content, which imparts specific properties like enhanced corrosion resistance, strength at high temperatures, and toughness, differentiating them from other stainless steel compositions.

Within the "Other" classification at this level, this subcategory distinguishes itself by its specific material composition. While other "Other" categories at this level might encompass stainless steel bars and rods with different alloying elements or processing characteristics, this node is exclusively for those meeting the criteria of high-nickel alloy steel. The "Other" designation signifies that these high-nickel alloy steel bars and rods do not fall into more specific sub-classifications that might exist for other types of stainless steel bars and rods at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this code hinges on the confirmation that the bars and rods are made of stainless steel, have been subjected to hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion, and are not further worked. The critical defining characteristic for this specific HTS code is the presence of a high-nickel alloy composition.
