HS-4 · Heading
7227 — Steel, alloy; bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7227 when importing hot-rolled alloy steel bars and rods that are packaged in irregularly wound coils. For example, if you're bringing in high-speed steel rods for manufacturing tools, this heading applies directly.
When deciding between the subheadings, consider the specific type of alloy in your product. HS-6 722710 is for high-speed steel, often used in cutting tools, while HS-6 722720 covers silico-manganese steel, which is typically used for its strength in construction applications.
If your product does not fit into the high-speed or silico-manganese categories, you would use HS-6 722790 for other types of hot-rolled alloy steel bars and rods in coils. This is a catch-all for items that don't neatly fall into the first two classifications.
