Overview
This HTS category, 7228.30.80.41, specifically classifies bars and rods of other alloy steel that have undergone no further processing beyond hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this sub-classification is the dimensional range of the cross-section. Goods falling under this heading must have a diameter or cross-sectional measurement that is 76 millimeters or more but does not exceed 152 millimeters. These are considered "other" bars and rods within the broader "other" category of alloy steel products.
The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. Category 7228.30.80.15 covers similar alloy steel bars and rods with a cross-section measuring *less than* 76 mm. Conversely, 7228.30.80.45 deals with those having a cross-section of 152 mm or more but not exceeding 228 mm, and 7228.30.80.70 encompasses those with a cross-section *exceeding* 228 mm. Therefore, this node exclusively captures the intermediate size range between 76 mm and 152 mm.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 7228.30.80.41 is final once the material is confirmed as "other alloy steel" and meets the specified hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded condition, with the cross-sectional dimensions falling precisely within the 76 mm to 152 mm range. This precise dimensional criterion ensures that the tariff is applied consistently to a specific subset of alloy steel bars and rods.
