HS code 7214: what it covers
Non-alloy steel is ordinary steel. It is not stainless and it is not alloy steel. Bars that were twisted after rolling are also included.
The key phrase is "not further worked". The bar can be shaped by heat and force, but it should not go through extra finishing. If it does, it may belong in heading 7215 instead. Some traders call this number HSN code 7214. It is the same code.
Typical goods are hot-rolled steel bars, forged steel bars and ribbed construction bars. You will find it in Chapter 72, Iron and steel.
HS 7214 subheadings and when to use each
Pick the code by asking questions in order. First, is the bar forged? Does it have ribs or grooves? Is it made of free-cutting steel? If none of these fit, look at the cross-section. The two "n.e.c." codes at the end catch everything else.
- 721420: use for bars with ribs, indentations or grooves made during rolling, often called deformed bars or rebar. Bars twisted after rolling also go here.
- 721430: use for bars and rods made of free-cutting steel, a grade made to be machined easily.
- 721491: use for other hot-formed bars with a rectangular cross-section that is not square.
- 721499: use for other hot-formed bars with any other cross-section, such as round or square.
Difference between HS 7213 and 7214, 7215, 7222 and 7228
Several nearby headings also cover bars and rods. The shape, the finish and the type of steel decide which one applies.
- 7214 is for straight lengths that are not further worked than hot forming.
- Use it when the bar was worked beyond hot forming.
- 7222 is for stainless steel bars and rods, angles, shapes and sections. Stainless bars never go under 7214.
- 7228 is for alloy steel bars and rods, and for hollow drill bars and rods. Alloy bars do not go under 7214.
- 7216 is for angles, shapes and sections. If the product has a profile rather than a plain bar form, check this heading.
