HS Code 7227Steel, alloy; bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils

What HS code 7227 covers

Alloy steel has other elements added on purpose to change how the metal behaves. Hot-rolled means the steel was shaped while it was still hot. Irregular winding means loose, uneven loops, not neat layers.

Traders often call this product alloy steel wire rod. The customs description is the wording a declaration has to match, so read it closely before you pick a code.

You may also see HSN code 7227 or HTS code 7227. These labels name the same product group, because the first six digits come from the shared Harmonized System. The group sits in Chapter 72, which covers iron and steel.

Six-digit codes under 7227: 722710, 722720, 722790

Each six-digit code is chosen by the grade of the steel. Here is when each one applies.

722710 is for high speed steel. This is a tool steel built to stay hard even when it gets hot, so it is common in cutting tools.

722720 is for silico-manganese steel. Silicon and manganese are the main added elements. If the steel is sold under this grade, use 722720.

722790 is the catch-all for other alloy steel. It applies when the product fits heading 7227 but is neither high speed steel nor silico-manganese steel. The letters n.e.c. mean not elsewhere classified. Many alloy grades end up here.

How to choose the right code

Work through these checks in order. Stop at the first one that gives a clear answer.

• Is the steel alloy? If it is iron or non-alloy steel, look at heading 7213.
• Is it stainless? Stainless steel has its own heading, 7221.
• If yes, you are in 7227. If it comes in straight lengths, shapes or sections, look at heading 7228.
• Is it drawn wire, not rolled rod? Check heading 7229.
• Last, pick the grade: 722710, 722720 or 722790.

Difference between 7227 and 7213, 7221 and 7228

These headings sit close together in the tariff, so they are easy to mix up. Two things decide the answer: the type of steel and the shape of the product.

• 7213 has the same shape as 7227, but the steel is iron or non-alloy steel.
• 7221 also has the same shape, but the steel is stainless.
• It suits alloy bars that do not come as hot-rolled coils.
• It is wire, not hot-rolled rod.
