HS Code 7214.10 – Iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling
HS code 7214.10 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or non-alloy steel, bars and rods, forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling. It is used for hot-rolled steel bars, forged steel rods, hot-drawn steel bars, hot-extruded steel rods and twisted steel bars.
What HS 7214.10 covers
This code covers non-alloy steel bars and rods that have undergone hot working processes such as forging, hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or hot-extruding, and may also include those twisted after rolling. Unlike products in heading 7213, these are typically supplied in straight lengths, not in coils. They are fundamental structural and engineering materials used in general construction, machinery manufacturing, fabrication, and various industrial applications where strength and formability are required. Importers range from construction firms and engineering workshops to automotive component manufacturers. Trade patterns are influenced by global infrastructure development, industrial production levels, and the demand for robust, versatile steel components.

Cambodia did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 94% of its imports here ($56M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

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).
