U.S. imports of stainless steel bars & rods, hot-rolled in irregularly wound coils (HS 722100) totaled $7.3M in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHot-rolled stainless steel bars and rods supplied in irregularly wound coils — a form distinct from straight lengths — serve as feedstock for cold-drawing, forging, and fastener manufacturing. The US tariff schedule segments this heading by nickel content and cross-sectional diameter, with lines covering high-nickel alloy grades (7221000005), circular cross-sections under 14 mm at varying nickel levels (7221000017, 7221000018), and larger diameters (7221000030, 7221000045). Taiwan is the leading supplier, with Italy and France also prominent sources, reflecting the global distribution of specialty long-product stainless mills.

Irregularly wound coils are a specific presentation where the bar or rod is coiled without precise layer-by-layer winding, differentiating them from precision-wound coils or straight lengths. This presentation is characteristic of hot-rolling mill output and is the defining feature of HTS 7221. If the product is in straight lengths or precision coils, it would classify elsewhere under heading 7222.
The US schedule uses 14 mm as a key cross-sectional diameter threshold, with separate lines for circular cross-section material under 14 mm at different nickel content levels (7221000017 for under 8% nickel, 7221000018 for 8% to under 24% nickel) and distinct lines for 14 mm and above. Accurate measurement and mill certification documentation are essential to ensure correct line-level classification.
