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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing <0.25% carbon by weight
Lower carbon semifinished products fall under 7207.11 for <0.25% C nonalloy steel billets
If square cross-section or width <4x thickness
Narrower rectangular or square billets without 4:1 width ratio classified separately in same heading
If bars/rods with further worked surfaces
Surface treatments like polishing push product from semifinished 7207 to finished bars in 7213

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify carbon content certification (≥0.25%) via mill test reports to confirm 7207 classification over lower-carbon 7207.11/7207.19
• Measure and document width-to-thickness ratio at entry; ratios <4x shift to 7207.20.00.30 square/cross-section subheading
• Ensure no 'further worked' surface treatments (polishing, coating) per Chapter 72 notes, or reclassify to 7213+ finished products
