Product classification
HS code for Rebar coils: 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.
Classification of rebar coils under HS 7213.10
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).

Codes often confused with 7213.10
Common mistake. 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.
Top exporters and importers of HS 721310 (the code used for rebar coils), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 721310 (the code used for rebar coils) in UN Comtrade data was Germany, with 16% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Israel, with 20% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
Figures cover everything classified under HS 721310, not only rebar coils.

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).

Questions about rebar coils
What is the HS code for Rebar coils?
The HS code for Rebar coils is 721310 (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). The HS code for hot-rolled iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods in irregularly wound coils with deformations is 721310.
How do I classify Rebar coils for customs?
Rebar coils is classified under HS code 721310 — 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. This is a 6-digit subheading level code.
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.
Which countries are the top exporters of rebar coils (HS 721310)?
In 2025, the top exporters of HS 721310 (the code used for rebar coils) in UN Comtrade data were Germany ($414M, 16% of world exports), Italy ($332M) and Türkiye ($313M). World exports came to about $2.6B, adding countries' reported figures and partner-based estimates for those that did not report (UN Comtrade data). Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.
