Overview
This HTS category, 7228.50.10.80, encompasses "Other" bars and rods of other alloy steel, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished, specifically of tool steel (other than high-speed steel), with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 18 mm or more. This classification applies to items that do not fit into more specific subheadings within the tool steel category. The key defining characteristics are the alloy steel composition (excluding high-speed steel), the cold-forming or cold-finishing processes applied, and the minimum dimension of 18 mm.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7228.50.10.60, by the absence of specific surface treatments like grinding, milling, or polishing on round or rectangular cross-sections. While both deal with cold-formed or cold-finished alloy tool steel bars and rods of a certain size, 7228.50.10.60 is designated for products exhibiting these specific surface finishes, whereas 7228.50.10.80 covers those that do not meet those precise finishing criteria.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 7228.50.10.80 relies on accurately identifying the material as other alloy steel (not high-speed tool steel), confirming it has undergone cold-forming or cold-finishing processes, and verifying that its largest cross-sectional dimension is 18 mm or greater, while ensuring it does not possess the specific surface treatments outlined in the sibling category.
