Last updated: July 2026 dataBars and rods of high-speed steel not supplied in irregularly wound coils — including straight bars, cut lengths, and cold-formed sections — serve the cutting tool, die, and precision machining industries directly, often requiring no further hot-working before fabrication. The US schedule distinguishes non-cold-formed product (7228100010) from cold-formed bars by maximum cross-section: under 18 mm (7228100030) and 18 mm and above (7228100060). China is the leading supplier, followed by Austria and Taiwan, a supply profile that raises Section 232 exposure and warrants scrutiny for any applicable antidumping orders on specialty steel bar from China.

Imports from China are subject to Section 232 steel tariffs. Additionally, importers should check whether any antidumping or countervailing duty orders cover high-speed steel bars from China, as the specialty steel sector has been subject to multiple trade remedy proceedings. A pre-entry classification and admissibility review with a licensed customs broker is advisable given China's position as the leading supplier.
Cold-forming (e.g., cold drawing or cold finishing) changes the mechanical properties and dimensional precision of the bar and is a classification-determinative processing step. Non-cold-formed bars classify under 7228100010, while cold-formed bars are further split by cross-section size into 7228100030 (under 18 mm) and 7228100060 (18 mm and above). The manufacturing process should be documented on the mill certificate or producer's declaration.
