Overview
This HTS category, 7227.90.20.60, encompasses hot-rolled bars and rods, supplied in irregularly wound coils, that are made of other alloy steel. Crucially, these products are not high-speed steel and are not specifically classified under the "ball-bearing steel" sibling category. The defining characteristic is their composition of alloy steel that falls outside the more specific definitions, making them a residual category for such coiled products.
The distinction from its sibling, 7227.90.20.30, is critical. While both fall under "Other" alloy steel coiled bars and rods, 7227.90.20.30 is reserved exclusively for products identified as "ball-bearing steel." Therefore, 7227.90.20.60 applies to all other alloy steels that do not meet the specific metallurgical or performance standards associated with ball-bearing steel, yet are still considered alloy steel by definition.
As a leaf node in the HTS, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Its scope is precisely defined by what it includes: hot-rolled, irregularly wound coils of alloy steel that are not high-speed steel and not ball-bearing steel. Examples might include specialized alloy steel bars used in general engineering, construction, or manufacturing applications where specific high-performance characteristics of tool steel or ball-bearing steel are not required.
