Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the rounds are further worked into bars or rods of alloy steel
Alloy steel bars and rods, not further worked than hot-rolled, are classified under heading 72.28.
If the carbon content is less than 0.25% by weight
Semi-finished products with lower carbon content are classified under this alternative.
If the rounds are further worked into other bars and rods of non-alloy steel
Other bars and rods of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-formed, are classified under heading 72.15.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the steel grade (1045) and carbon content (0.43-0.50%) are documented in the mill certificate
• Ensure the rounds are not in coil form, as that would classify them as wire rod under heading 72.13
• If the rounds are for axle or gear manufacturing, confirm they are not yet machined into those articles, which would be classified elsewhere
