HS Code for Rebar coils

Rebar coils are classified under HS code 721310 because they consist of iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that have undergone a hot-rolling process. To qualify for this specific heading, the material must be presented in irregularly wound coils rather than straight lengths. Furthermore, the product must feature surface deformations such as indentations, ribs, grooves, or other variations produced during the rolling process. These deformations are essential for enhancing the bond between the steel and concrete in construction applications. The classification is determined by the metallurgical composition (non-alloy steel), the manufacturing method (hot-rolled), the physical form (coils), and the functional surface characteristics (ribbed or deformed).

Products Included

• Hot-rolled non-alloy steel rods in coils
• Ribbed steel coils for concrete reinforcement
• Deformed wire rods in irregular windings
• High-yield strength rebar in coil form

Common Misclassification

Rebar coils are frequently confused with HS code 721420. The primary distinction lies in the physical presentation: 721420 covers bars and rods that are straight and not in coils. Additionally, if the steel is cold-formed or cold-finished rather than hot-rolled, it may fall under heading 7217. It is also important to distinguish these from alloy steel products, which are classified under heading 7227 if they contain specific alloying elements above the thresholds defined in the Chapter 72 notes.

FAQ

What is the HS code for rebar coils?

The HS code for hot-rolled iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods in irregularly wound coils with deformations is 721310.

What is the difference between HS 7213 and 7214?

HS 7213 is reserved for products in irregularly wound coils, whereas HS 7214 applies to bars and rods that are straight or in cut lengths.
