Analysis
Subheading 7213.91 covers of circular cross section measuring less than 14 mm in diameter, within heading 7213. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
Every one of its 3 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the subheading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The US splits it as follows: 7213.91.30 for not tempered, not treated and not partly manufactured (duty-free), 7213.91.45 for containing by weight 0.6 percent or more of carbon (duty-free) and 7213.91.60 for other: other (duty-free).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (331110). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
