Heading 7222 — Stainless steel bars and rods, angles, shapes and sections
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 722219 when importing or exporting hot-rolled or hot-drawn stainless steel bars and rods that are not circular in cross-section. For instance, this code applies to a shipment of stainless steel flat bars used in construction.
This code specifically covers stainless steel products like angles and shapes that are hot-rolled or hot-drawn, distinguishing them from HS-6 722211, which includes circular cross-section rods. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate classification.
If you’re dealing with stainless steel sections that are extruded, you might consider HS-6 722220, which encompasses different manufacturing processes. Knowing the right code helps avoid customs delays and ensures compliance with regulations.
When classifying your products, remember that the shape and manufacturing process are key. For example, stainless steel flat bars and angles used in industrial applications fall under this code, while other shapes may require different classifications.
