What determines the tariff number?
- Steel grade. High-speed steel, silico-manganese steel and other alloyed steels have different classifications. The precise steel composition significantly affects the tariff number.
- Processing method. Whether hot-rolled, forged or cold-worked – the manufacturing method influences classification. Hollow drill rods follow specific rules.
- Material and alloys. Alloyed versus non-alloyed steel results in different HS codes. High-speed steel and other highly alloyed grades also have separate tariff positions.
