U.S. imports of alloy steel bars and rods, further worked beyond cold-formed (excluding high-speed and silico-manganese steel) (SITC 67647) totaled $738K in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Alloy Steel Bars and Rods, Further Worked Beyond Cold-Formed (Excluding High-Speed and Silico-Manganese Steel) paid $305K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 51% on $600K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Alloy Steel Bars and Rods, Further Worked Beyond Cold-Formed (Excluding High-Speed and Silico-Manganese Steel) imports of $738K in April 2026 ran 14% below the year-to-date monthly average of $862K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAlloy steel bars and rods that have undergone processing beyond cold-forming or cold-finishing — such as precision grinding, turning, or polishing to tight tolerances — occupy this NES classification, which also serves as a residual for alloy bar forms not captured by the forged or cold-formed headings. The exclusion of high-speed and silico-manganese steel mirrors the structure of related SITC lines and requires chemistry verification. These further-worked bars are widely used in precision engineering, hydraulic systems, and machine tool construction, where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are as important as mechanical properties.

Operations such as precision centerless grinding to tight diameter tolerances, hard chrome plating, induction hardening, or thread rolling performed after cold-finishing move a bar into the 'further worked' category. The key test is whether a value-adding process beyond the cold-forming step has been applied; if so, the product exits the cold-formed heading and may fall here, depending on the alloy type.
The final processing step governs classification: if precision grinding is the last operation, the bar is 'further worked than cold-formed' and belongs in this heading rather than the cold-formed alloy bar line (67639). Importers should document the full processing sequence from the manufacturer and consult a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct classification, as the distinction affects both duty liability and any applicable trade remedy exposure.
