Last updated: July 2026 dataForged and stamped grinding balls for ball mills and similar comminution equipment are distinguished from their cast counterparts by a manufacturing process that produces a denser, more uniform microstructure — a performance advantage in high-impact milling applications such as hard-rock mining. All such articles enter under a single 10-digit line (7326110000). Canada leads US imports of this heading, followed by China and Indonesia, with India and Taiwan also supplying the market.

A manufacturer's process declaration or mill certificate confirming that the balls were produced by forging or stamping — rather than casting — is the primary supporting document. Metallurgical test reports showing grain structure consistent with forging can provide additional support. This documentation is important because the forged (7326.11) and cast (7325.91) provisions carry different tariff treatment, and CBP may request evidence of the manufacturing method during a CF-28 or CF-29 inquiry.
Canadian-origin forged grinding balls may qualify for USMCA preferential duty treatment if they satisfy the applicable Chapter 73 rules of origin, typically requiring a tariff classification change from the steel input or meeting a regional value content threshold. Importers should obtain a USMCA certification of origin from their Canadian supplier and confirm that the forging operation in Canada constitutes sufficient transformation under the agreement's rules.
