Overview
This classification covers concrete reinforcing bars and rods that are made from iron or steel, specifically falling under "other alloy steel" categories. These are typically hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded and are not further worked. Their primary function is to enhance the tensile strength and structural integrity of concrete in construction applications, preventing cracking and deformation under stress.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7228.30.80.05, is crucial. While both fall under "other bars and rods, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded," this specific subcategory, 7228.30.80.10, encompasses those **not** made of high-nickel alloy steel. Therefore, the key differentiator is the alloy composition, with this category representing reinforcing bars and rods made from alloy steels other than high-nickel variants.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this HTS code is therefore determined by the material being an alloy steel (excluding high-nickel alloy steel) and its form as a bar or rod, which has undergone only hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion, and is intended for use as concrete reinforcement.
