7224.90.00.65 - Of circular cross section

This HTS category, 7224.90.00.65, specifically classifies other alloy steel semi-finished products that are characterized by a circular cross-section. These are typically in forms such as wire rods, bars, or billets where the profile of the material is round. The composition falls under the broad heading of "other alloy steel," meaning it contains alloying elements beyond just iron and carbon, but does not fit into more specific alloy steel categories.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Of rectangular (including square) cross section" (7224.90.00.70, implied by sibling context), is solely based on the geometric shape of the product's cross-sectional profile. While both are semi-finished other alloy steel products, this classification is exclusively for those with a round shape, whereas the sibling is for those with a polygonal, four-sided shape. The "Other" at this level signifies that it is the residual category for circular cross-sectioned products after any more specific sub-classifications within circular shapes, if they existed, would have been exhausted.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific code depends entirely on the material being identified as other alloy steel, being in a semi-finished form, and possessing a definitive circular cross-section. Practical classification will involve verifying material composition against standard definitions of alloy steel and confirming the exact profile of the goods presented for import or export.
