Overview
This HTS classification covers bars and rods of stainless steel that have undergone cold forming or cold finishing. Specifically, these are products of a circular cross-section with a diameter between 18 mm and 152.4 mm, inclusive. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its nickel content, which must be at least 8 percent but less than 24 percent by weight. These products are suitable for various industrial applications requiring the corrosion resistance and strength of stainless steel.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7222.20.00.62, is the precise nickel content threshold. While both cover similarly shaped and processed stainless steel bars and rods, this classification specifically targets those with a higher nickel composition, placing them within a particular range that influences their material properties and potential uses.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 7222.20.00.64 relies solely on confirming that the stainless steel bar or rod meets all the preceding criteria: being of a circular cross-section, within the specified diameter range, and possessing a nickel content between 8 percent and 24 percent by weight.
