Nonalloy Steel Blooms for Heavy Sections
Square cross-section steel blooms with less than 0.25% carbon and a width-to-thickness ratio of less than 2:1, used for forging heavy structural sections like crane hooks. These non-alloy semi-finished products are classified under this item due to their rectangular (including square) cross-section and low carbon content.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the square cross-section meets the width-to-thickness ratio of less than 2:1
• Provide CBSA with the carbon content certificate to confirm it is below 0.25%
• If the blooms are already forged into crane hooks, they would be classified under heading 8431
