C45 Carbon Steel Billets
Semifinished billets of nonalloy steel containing 0.45% carbon by weight, suitable for forging into automotive crankshafts. Classified under HTS 7207.20.00.90 as semifinished products of iron or nonalloy steel with 0.25% or more carbon, other than specific exclusions. These are typically hot-rolled rectangular cross-sections not further worked beyond basic shaping.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbon content under 0.25%
Lower carbon semifinished products fall under 7207.11 for less than 0.25% carbon nonalloy steel.
If further worked with surface treatments like polishing
Chapter notes define 'further worked' products (e.g., coated or polished) as bars/rods under heading 7214, not semifinished.
If hot-rolled into coils narrower than 600mm
Coiled hot-rolled products shift to heading 7208, excluding semifinished forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon content exceeds 0.25% and nonalloy composition; ensure rectangular cross-sections measure over 4.75mm without further surface treatments
• Watch for misclassification as blooms if width exceeds 1.5x thickness
• Declare exact dimensions to avoid reclassification
