HS-6 · Subheading
721499
Iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, n.e.c. in heading no. 7214, other than of rectangular cross-section
Heading 7214 — Iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 721499 when importing or exporting hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or hot-extruded iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that are not rectangular in cross-section. For example, if you're shipping round steel bars used in construction, this code would apply.
This code specifically covers products that are not further worked beyond the hot-rolling or hot-extrusion processes. In contrast, HS-6 7214 includes all forms of hot-rolled steel bars and rods, while HS-6 721491 is for those with rectangular cross-sections.
When classifying under this heading, focus on the shape and processing of the steel. If your product is a twisted steel rod or a bar with a circular cross-section, 721499 is the right choice. It excludes products that have been further processed or shaped.
Be aware that other related codes, like 721498, cover different types of non-alloy steel bars and rods that may have specific characteristics. Always check the exact specifications of your product to ensure correct classification.
