Forging Billet Steel Rectangle Nonalloy from Mexico
Nonalloy steel billets in rectangular form, containing less than 0.25% carbon by weight, designed for open-die forging into custom shapes. These are hot-worked semifinished products that have not undergone further working beyond primary hot-rolling, as defined in Chapter 72 Note 1(ij). They fall under tariff item 7207.12.00 because they are semifinished products of iron or nonalloy steel with a rectangular cross-section that is not square.

Import Tips
• Ensure the carbon content is below 0.25% and the cross-section is rectangular but not square to qualify for this tariff item
• Provide mill test certificates to verify nonalloy composition
• Verify the goods are semifinished (not further worked than hot-rolled) to avoid misclassification
