The Indian Customs classification HSN 7213 pertains to 'Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of iron or non-alloy steel'. This heading is fundamental for basic steel procurement, covering steel in its semi-finished, hot-rolled coiled form. Buyers searching under 7213 are typically looking for raw or intermediate materials for subsequent manufacturing processes, such as wire drawing, fastener production, or basic fabrication. Accurate classification under 7213 ensures correct GST compliance and smoother customs clearance for these essential industrial inputs. MetaleMart facilitates trade in various steel grades, and understanding this HSN helps buyers identify the specific type of hot-rolled coiled bars they require from our extensive catalog.
What HSN 7213 Covers
HSN 7213 specifically classifies 'Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of iron or non-alloy steel'. This means the primary material must be iron or non-alloy steel (steel where alloying elements are not intentionally added beyond basic carbon content limits). The manufacturing process must be 'hot-rolling', where steel is shaped at high temperatures. Crucially, the form must be 'in irregularly wound coils' – think loose, natural coils formed as the material exits the rolling mill, not tightly wound or precision-formed coils. These are typically intermediate products. MetaleMart offers various steel products, but under 7213, expect feedstock for wire drawing, bolt manufacturing, and general use. Exclusions: This code does *not* cover: Cold-rolled or cold-finished bars and rods (found in other HSNs like 7212). Bars and rods of alloy steel (HSN 7215). Finished products like precisely cut lengths, bars with specific tolerances, or heat-treated bars (often under HSN 7214). Steel wire (covered by Chapter 72, Section 7). Products not in coils, or in 'regularly' wound coils.Common Materials & Grades
- Mild Steel (MS) Coils: Hot-rolled coils of standard mild steel grades (e.g., IS 2831 Fe 410, Fe 500) used for general fabrication and wire drawing.
- Non-Alloy Steel Rods: Hot-rolled, irregularly wound coils of basic carbon steels (like SAE 1006, 1018) serving as feedstock for manufacturing processes.
- Wire Rods: Specifically, hot-rolled steel in coils intended for conversion into various types of wires.

- Automotive Parts Production (initial feedstock)
GST Rate (Indicative)
Products under HSN 7213 typically fall within the 18% GST slab. However, verification is essential as rates can vary based on specific product attributes or government notifications. Always confirm the applicable GST rate on the official CBIC portal before finalizing any transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions about HSN 7213
What defines products under HSN 7213?
HSN 7213 covers bars and rods, specifically hot-rolled ones, that are wound into irregular coils. This means continuous lengths of steel formed while hot through rolling processes, then coiled loosely. Key is 'hot-rolled' and 'irregularly wound coils', differentiating them from finished, precision-wound coils or cold-drawn bars. It's mainly for foundational steel forms prior to further manufacturing.
What is excluded from HSN 7213?
HSN 7213 is primarily for hot-rolled iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that are wound into coils. Products like cold-rolled bars, bright bars, or those made from alloy steels (which have specific alloying elements beyond iron and carbon) would fall under different HSN codes. Products not in irregular coils, like straight bars or precision-wound coils, are also excluded from 7213.
Who typically searches for HSN 7213?
HSN 7213 is crucial for manufacturers using basic steel inputs. Buyers seeking hot-rolled coils of steel rods for wire drawing, bolt/nut manufacturing, or general construction reinforcement will search here. Understanding this code ensures correct GST application and customs classification for these primary steel products.
What specific grades/shapes does HSN 7213 cover on MetaleMart?
HSN 7213 specifies hot-rolled, irregularly wound coils. While MetaleMart offers steel in various forms, the specific grades here are typically standard carbon or mild steel types like SAE 1008, 1010, 1018, or similar, intended for further processing. Stainless steel, alloy steel, or precisely shaped bars (like Hex or Square) not in irregular coils belong to different HSNs.
