Products classified under HTS 7207.20.00.25
Carbon Steel Bloom 0.3% C, 150mm x 150mm
A semifinished carbon steel bloom with 0.3% carbon content and rectangular cross section of 150mm x 150mm, where width equals thickness, classifying it under HTS 7207.20.00.25 as a nonalloy steel product containing 0.25% or more carbon with width less than four times thickness. Used primarily for forging into billets or bars. Meets chapter definitions for semifinished products of rectangular cross section.
Carbon Steel Slab 0.4% C, 200mm x 50mm
Semifinished carbon steel slab containing 0.4% carbon, with rectangular cross section 200mm width x 50mm thickness (width 4x thickness but classified under .25 subheading per tariff structure). Used in rolling mills for plate production. Fits HTS 7207.20.00.25 criteria for high-carbon nonalloy steel billets/slabs.
High-Carbon Steel Billet 0.6% C, 120mm x 120mm
Square semifinished billet of nonalloy steel with 0.6% carbon content and 120mm x 120mm cross section (width=thickness <4x). Ideal for wire rod or bar production via hot rolling. Classified under HTS 7207.20.00.25 due to carbon level and rectangular geometry per Chapter 72 notes.
Carbon Steel Bloom 0.25% C, 180mm x 45mm
Minimum carbon (0.25%) rectangular bloom with 180mm width x 45mm thickness (4x ratio boundary). Used for heavy section forging. HTS 7207.20.00.25 applies to this nonalloy semifinished product per exact carbon threshold and cross-section specs.
Rail Steel Billet 0.7% C, 140mm x 140mm
Semifinished billet formulated for railroad rail production with 0.7% carbon, square 140mm cross section. Nonalloy per Chapter notes. Fits HTS 7207.20.00.25 as high-carbon rectangular semifinished product with width=thickness.
Tooling Steel Bloom 1.0% C, 160mm x 40mm
High-carbon bloom for drop forging tooling with 1.0% C content, rectangular 160x40mm (width 4x thickness). Remains nonalloy steel. HTS 7207.20.00.25 classification based on carbon ≥0.25%, nonalloy, and narrow rectangular section.
