Analysis
HTS 7227.90.60 covers other: other under heading 7227 (bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of other alloy steel). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 7 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The ten-digit suffixes separate of high-nickel alloy steel, of Cold Heading Quality, of welding quality wire rods of a kind…, with a diameter of less than 14 mm, with a diameter of 14 mm or more but… and with a diameter of 19 mm or more. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
The other lines in the same group are 7227.90.10 (not tempered, not treated, and not partly manufactured, duty-free) and 7227.90.20 (of tool steel (other than high-speed steel): other, duty-free).
