Overview
This HTS category, 7227.90.20.30, specifically classifies hot-rolled bars and rods, wound into irregular coils, made from other alloy steel. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the material is designated for the production of ball bearings. This implies that the steel possesses specific metallurgical properties, such as high hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability, necessary for bearing applications.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 7227.90.20.60 ("Other"), lies solely in the intended end-use or material composition. While both fall under "Other" alloy steels in irregular coils, this specific code is reserved for those alloy steels that are explicitly identified or processed for ball-bearing steel production. The sibling category would encompass other alloy steels in the same form that are not destined for ball-bearing manufacturing.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 7227.90.20.30 relies on confirming that the material is indeed alloy steel, hot-rolled into irregular coils, and possesses the critical characteristics or has been designated for the manufacture of ball bearings, differentiating it from general "other" alloy steels.
