HS Code 7213.10 – Iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, containing indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process
HS code 7213.10 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or non-alloy steel, bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, containing indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process. It is used for deformed steel rebar coils, reinforcing bar in coils, ribbed wire rod, construction steel coils and concrete reinforcement bars.
What HS 7213.10 covers
This category encompasses hot-rolled bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel, supplied in irregularly wound coils, featuring indentations, ribs, grooves, or other deformations. These 'deformed' characteristics are critical for enhancing the bond with concrete, making this product primarily known as reinforcing bar (rebar) in coil form. It is a fundamental input for the construction industry, used in infrastructure projects, residential and commercial buildings. Importers are typically construction companies, rebar fabricators, and steel distributors, while exporters are large-scale steel mills. Trade volumes are heavily influenced by global construction booms and infrastructure development spending, making it a key indicator of economic activity.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
