Overview
This HTS category, 7222.20.00.67, specifically classifies bars and rods of stainless steel that have undergone cold forming or cold finishing. These are items with a circular cross-section, and crucially, their maximum circular dimension measures 152.4 millimeters or more. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is their nickel content: these stainless steel products must contain less than 8 percent by weight of nickel.
To differentiate this category from its sibling, 7222.20.00.69, the key distinction lies in the nickel percentage. While this category covers stainless steel with less than 8 percent nickel, its sibling is for stainless steel containing 8 percent or more but less than 24 percent by weight of nickel. Both categories address cold-formed or cold-finished bars and rods of stainless steel with the same large circular cross-sectional dimension.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on ensuring that the physical characteristics – specifically the circular cross-section, the minimum dimension of 152.4 mm, and the nickel content below 8 percent – are met for accurate classification. This precise definition aids in distinguishing these specific stainless steel products from others with varying nickel content or different cross-sectional shapes and finishes.
