HS-6 · Subheading
722810
Steel, alloy; bars and rods, of high speed steel
Heading 7228 — Alloy steel bars, rods, shapes and sections; hollow drill bars and rods, of alloy or non-alloy steel
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 722810 when importing or exporting high speed steel bars and rods. These products are often used in manufacturing cutting tools and machinery components. For instance, a shipment of high speed steel rods intended for drill bit production would fall under this code.
This HS-6 line specifically covers alloy steel bars and rods made from high speed steel, which is known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and maintain hardness. In contrast, HS-6 722820 pertains to non-alloy steel bars and rods, which do not have the same high-performance characteristics.
When classifying products, it's essential to distinguish between high speed steel and other types of alloy steels. High speed steel is commonly used for tools that require durability and precision, while other alloy steels may serve different applications, such as structural components.
If you're unsure whether your product qualifies as high speed steel, consider its intended use and composition. For example, high speed steel is typically used in the production of saw blades, drill bits, and milling cutters, which require exceptional hardness and wear resistance.
