Cold-Finished Nonalloy Steel Flat Bar
Flat bar of non-alloy steel, cold-finished for dimensional accuracy, used in machinery frames. The cold-finishing process does not add alloying elements, so the product remains a non-alloy steel bar under heading 7215.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is a flat-rolled strip under 600 mm wide
Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel are classified under headings 7211 or 7212.
If the bar is hot-rolled rather than cold-finished
Hot-rolled bars of non-alloy steel are classified under heading 7214.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Check the cross-section dimensions: if thickness exceeds one-tenth of width, it is a bar; otherwise, it may be a flat-rolled product
• Ensure the bar is not coated with non-metallic materials, which could affect classification
• Keep mill certificates to prove non-alloy composition
Related Products under Tariff item 7215.90.00
Aluminum-Coated Exhaust Rods
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel rods coated with an aluminum layer for high-temperature automotive exhaust components. The aluminum coating qualifies as a metal coating, and the rods are not cold-formed, placing them under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel.
Annealed Nonalloy Steel Tie Rod Blank
Annealed blank for tie rods, made of non-alloy steel and intended for use as construction tension members. The annealing process softens the steel without adding alloying elements, keeping it within the scope of Chapter 72 as a non-alloy steel bar.
Bright Drawn Mild Steel Bright Bar
Bright finish bar drawn from mild non-alloy steel billets, used for applications requiring precise dimensions and a smooth surface. Bright drawing is a cold-working process that does not change the steel's non-alloy character, so it remains a bar of heading 7215.
Centerless Ground Steel Shim Stock
Thin non-alloy steel shim stock, centerless ground for precise thickness used in machinery adjustments. The grinding process provides a smooth finish but does not turn the product into a flat-rolled product, so it remains a bar or rod of heading 7215.
Chromium-Plated Nonalloy Steel Shafts
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel round shafts with a hard chromium plating 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 non-alloy steel.
Clad Copper Steel Rounds
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel cores clad with copper for electrical grounding rods. The copper cladding is a metal coating, and the rods are not cold-formed, so they fall under this tariff item for other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel.
