Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the bars/rods are not in coils
Other bars and rods of other alloy steel, not hot-rolled in irregularly wound coils.
If in flat-rolled form
Flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, width less than 600 mm.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the steel is not high-speed steel; A2 has lower tungsten/molybdenum
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing carbon and chromium content
• Ensure the product is in irregularly wound coils, not straight bars
