Chromium-Plated Nonalloy Steel Shafts from Japan
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel round shafts plated with hard chromium for wear resistance in industrial machinery. The chromium plating is a metal coating, and since the shafts are not cold-formed, they are classified as other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel under this tariff item.

Import Tips
• Confirm the chromium plating is applied as a metal coating and not as part of an article of Section XVI, which would be excluded
• Keep records of the hot-rolling process and steel composition to demonstrate nonalloy status
• Check if the shafts have additional machining that could reclassify them as parts of machinery
