Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the bar is hot-rolled rather than cold-finished
Hot-rolled bars of other alloy steel fall under a different item.
If the milling is considered further working beyond cold-forming
Bars worked beyond cold-forming are classified elsewhere.

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
• Ensure the milling does not constitute further working beyond cold-forming; simple surface finishing may not change classification
• Provide a mill certificate to verify the steel composition
• Confirm the bar is not machined into specific articles
