Products classified under HTS 7207.20.00.45
Carbon Steel Billets for Forging 0.35% Carbon
Semifinished rectangular carbon steel billets with 0.35% carbon content and width at least four times the thickness, used primarily for hot forging applications. Classified under HTS 7207.20.00.45 due to high carbon content (0.25% or more), rectangular cross-section meeting the width-to-thickness ratio, and status as nonalloy steel semifinished product. These are hot-rolled or continuously cast products not further worked beyond basic shaping.
0.45% Carbon Steel Slabs for Heavy Plate Rolling
High-carbon (0.45%) rectangular steel slabs with width four times or more than thickness, designed for hot rolling into heavy structural plates. Meets HTS 7207.20.00.45 criteria as semifinished nonalloy steel containing ≥0.25% carbon, rectangular section with specified dimensions, not further processed. Commonly used in shipbuilding and heavy machinery.
Tooling Grade 0.30% Carbon Steel Blooms
Rectangular blooms of 0.30% carbon nonalloy steel, width measuring at least four times thickness, used for forging press tools and dies. HTS 7207.20.00.45 applies to these semifinished products with carbon ≥0.25%, specific rectangular dimensions, distinguishing from square blooms or lower-carbon variants. Hot-rolled surface condition confirms semifinished status.
0.28% Carbon Rectangular Steel Semifinished for Rails
Semifinished rectangular carbon steel with 0.28% C content, width ≥4x thickness, intended for rolling into railway track sections. Precisely matches HTS 7207.20.00.45 as nonalloy steel semifinished product with required carbon level and cross-sectional dimensions. Supplied in straight lengths without patterns or further working.
High-Carbon 0.60% Steel Slabs for Spring Wire
Rectangular semifinished steel slabs containing 0.60% carbon, with width at least four times thickness, used to produce spring wire rod. Falls under HTS 7207.20.00.45 for ≥0.25% carbon nonalloy steel semifinished products meeting exact dimensional and form criteria. No alloying elements beyond base iron-carbon composition.
Medium Carbon 0.40% Steel Semifinished Rectangulars
0.40% carbon rectangular semifinished steel products with width ≥4x thickness for gear blank production. Meets all HTS 7207.20.00.45 requirements: nonalloy, ≥0.25% C, proper dimensions, no further working. Continuously cast with scale-free surfaces.
0.32% Carbon Steel Blooms for Heavy Forgings
Large rectangular blooms of 0.32% carbon nonalloy steel, width measuring at least four times thickness, for open-die heavy forging. HTS 7207.20.00.45 classification confirmed by carbon content ≥0.25%, rectangular cross-section specs, and semifinished hot-rolled condition. Used in crane hooks, turbine shafts.
