Portugal and Italy lead US supply under this heading, with Germany and Poland also notable sources — a supplier mix that reflects European long-product stainless capacity. The US schedule distinguishes electroslag/vacuum arc remelted grades (7222190001), high-nickel alloy steel (7222190006), and standard grades by nickel content (7222190052, 7222190054).

Hexagonal cross-section stainless bar that has been hot-worked and is not in irregularly wound coils classifies under HTS 7222190000 or the appropriate 10-digit line based on nickel content and production method. The key classification question is whether the bar is hot-worked (heading 7222190052 or 7222190054 depending on nickel level) or cold-finished (which would shift it to heading 722220). Mill certifications confirming the finishing process are essential.
Yes. Like other stainless steel mill products, non-circular hot-rolled bars under heading 722219 are subject to Section 232 tariffs. Importers should verify whether any product-specific exclusions apply to their particular grade and cross-section, and consult a licensed customs broker for current status.
