7222.30.00

Analysis

HTS 7222.30.00 covers other bars and rods of stainless steel; angles, shapes and sections of stainless steel: other bars and rods under heading 7222 (other bars and rods of stainless steel; angles, shapes and sections of stainless steel). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 6 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 29% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 29% duty.

The ten-digit suffixes separate electroslag or vacuum arc remelted, of high-nickel alloy steel, containing less than 8 percent by…, containing 8 percent or more but less…, containing less than 8 percent by… and containing 8 percent or more but less…. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
