HSN code 7227 classifies 'Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of other alloy steel'. This heading is crucial for procurement teams dealing with specialised steel products used in demanding engineering applications across India. Unlike basic carbon steels, 'other alloy steel' contains added elements like chromium, molybdenum, nickel, or vanadium to enhance properties such as strength, hardness, or corrosion resistance. The 'hot-rolled' and 'irregularly wound coils' aspects define the manufacturing process and form, impacting pricing and usability. Understanding HSN 7227 ensures correct customs declarations, accurate GST calculation (typical GST rate band (varies — verify on CBIC portal) is 18%), and efficient sourcing of materials for industries requiring high-performance steel components. MetaleMart facilitates access to a wide range of such specialised alloy steel products.
What HSN 7227 Covers
HSN 7227 specifically governs bars and rods manufactured from 'other alloy steel' which have undergone a hot-rolling process and are supplied in irregularly wound coils. 'Other alloy steel' refers to steel containing specified amounts of one or more alloying elements such as silicon, manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, tungsten, cobalt, or niobium, exceeding the limits defined for 'alloy steel' under relevant standards, or specifically categorized as such. The 'hot-rolled' attribute signifies that the steel was shaped at high temperatures, resulting in specific material properties and surface finish. The form factor—'irregularly wound coils'—is critical, distinguishing these products from straightened bars or precisely wound spools. This HSN code excludes products made from common carbon steel (covered elsewhere, e.g., HSN 7213 for wire rod if not 'other alloy steel'), stainless steel (HSN 7222), or tool steel (HSN 7224), unless those specific types also meet the criteria for 'other alloy steel' and are hot-rolled into coils. It also excludes products that are cold-formed or finished (e.g., cold-drawn, polished) which fall under different HSN codes. Typical GST rate band (varies — verify on CBIC portal) is 18%.Common Materials & Grades under HSN 7227
- EN 19 (Similar to AISI 4140): A versatile medium carbon alloy steel with chromium and molybdenum, offering good tensile strength and toughness. Used for high-stress components, shafts, and gears.
- EN 24 (Similar to AISI 4340): A high-strength alloy steel with nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, providing excellent toughness and hardenability. Used for heavy-duty crankshafts, connecting rods, and landing gear components.
- AISI 8620: A case-hardening alloy steel known for its good core strength and surface hardness after carburizing. Used for gears, shafts, and other components requiring wear resistance.
- 42CrMo4: A widely used alloy steel (similar to EN 19/AISI 4140) offering a good balance of strength, toughness, and wear resistance. Ideal for general engineering applications.
- Other Alloy Steel Grades: Various custom or specific alloy compositions tailored for unique performance requirements, supplied in hot-rolled coil form.

Frequently Asked Questions about HSN 7227
What is the scope of HSN 7227 for 'other alloy steel' bars and rods?
HSN 7227 covers bars and rods made from 'other alloy steel' that are hot-rolled into irregularly wound coils. This means steel with alloying elements added beyond basic carbon, processed into a specific coiled form. Examples includealloy steel bars for construction reinforcement or specialised industrial components. Typical GST rate band (varies — verify on CBIC portal) is 18%.
How does HSN 7227 differ from other alloy steel HSN codes?
HSN 7227 specifically applies to hot-rolled bars and rods of 'other alloy steel' supplied in irregularly wound coils. This differentiates it from other HSNs that might cover cold-rolled products, different steel types (like stainless or tool steel unless they fit the 'other alloy steel' criteria), or different forms like finished structural shapes. Always check the exact steel composition and form against the HSN chapter notes. Typical GST rate band (varies — verify on CBIC portal) is 18%.
Does MetaleMart offer materials classified under HSN 7227?
Yes, MetaleMart can source various grades of other alloy steel suitable for HSN 7227, including grades like EN series (e.g., EN 19, EN 24) or AISI/SAE grades (e.g., 4140, 8620) if they meet the 'other alloy steel' and hot-rolled coil specification. We connect buyers with suppliers offering these specific materials. Typical GST rate band (varies — verify on CBIC portal) is 18%.
What are common Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) for products under HSN 7227?
Typical MOQ for HSN 7227 materials can range from 1 MT to 10 MT, depending on the specific alloy steel grade and supplier. Smaller quantities might be available from stockists, while larger mill orders will have higher MOQs. Always confirm with the supplier on MetaleMart.
