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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbon content under 0.25% by weight
Lower carbon semifinished products fall under 7207.11 for <0.25% carbon nonalloy steel.
If further worked with surface treatments like polishing or coating
Chapter 72 defines 'further worked' products (polished, coated) as bars/rods under 7214, not semifinished.
If contains alloying elements meeting tool steel or high-strength steel definitions
Alloy steels with specified compositions (e.g., tool steel per Note (e)) classify under Chapter 72 alloy headings like 7228.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify carbon content certificate ≥0.25% and exact cross-sectional dimensions to confirm width <4x thickness for proper classification
• Provide mill test reports documenting nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification as alloy steel under Chapter 72 headings
• Inspect for rust/discoloration upon entry; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 note, so reject heavily rusted lots pre-shipment
