HS Code 7228 — Other Alloy Steel Bars, Shapes and Hollow Drill Bars
This code includes alloy steel bars and rods that are straight (not coiled), as well as structural shapes and hollow bars used for making drill bits. They are used in tool manufacturing, mining, and heavy construction.
What's included
- Forged alloy steel bars
- Hollow drill bars for mining
- Cold-finished alloy steel rods
- Alloy steel I-beams
What's excluded
- Concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) → use
7214(Standard rebar is usually non-alloy steel and has its own category.) - Bars in coils → use
7227(Coiled material is classified under 7227.)
Common examples
- Hardened alloy steel round bars
- Hollow hexagonal drill steels for rock mining
- Cold-drawn chrome-vanadium rods
- Heavy alloy steel structural sections
Frequently asked questions
Are pipes included in hollow drill bars?
No. Hollow drill bars are solid profiles with a small hole for fluids, used specifically for drilling tools, unlike standard fluid-conveying pipes.
