U.S. imports of hot-worked alloy steel bars & rods (other than stainless), nesoi (HS 722830) totaled $16.7M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Hot-Worked Alloy Steel Bars & Rods (Other Than Stainless), NESOI paid $5.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 48% on $11.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Hot-Worked Alloy Steel Bars & Rods (Other Than Stainless), NESOI imports of $16.7M in April 2026 ran 24% above the year-to-date monthly average of $13.5M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHot-worked bars and rods of non-stainless alloy steel — covering grades from ball-bearing and chipper knife steel to tool steel, high-nickel alloy steel, and general alloy grades including concrete rebar — are classified here when not further worked beyond hot-rolling or hot-drawing. The US schedule is highly detailed, with separate lines for ball-bearing steel (7228302000), chipper knife steel (7228304000), tool steel (7228305000, 7228306000), high-nickel alloy steel (7228308005), concrete rebar (7228308010), and general alloy bars broken out by circular cross-section diameter across four size bands. Canada is the leading supplier, with Japan and South Korea also prominent, and Section 232 tariffs apply across the heading.

Alloy steel rebar contains alloying elements — such as chromium, vanadium, or molybdenum — in quantities that meet the HTS definition of alloy steel, placing it under heading 7228 rather than heading 7214 (carbon steel bars). The mill certificate's chemical composition data is the definitive reference; importers should confirm the alloy content thresholds with a customs broker if the steel is near the boundary between carbon and alloy classifications.
The diameter bands — under 76 mm, 76–152 mm, 152–228 mm, and over 228 mm — correspond to distinct industrial end uses and market segments: smaller diameters serve machined components and fasteners, while larger diameters are used in heavy machinery, tooling blocks, and structural applications. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders in the alloy steel bar sector have historically been size-specific, making accurate diameter documentation at entry commercially significant.
