More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloy steel
1045 with deliberate alloying elements (e.g., >1.65% Mn) becomes alloy steel under 7228.
If converted to wire rod
Drawn or rolled into wire rod changes from semifinished billet to 7215 products.
If regional variations in carbon specs
Some 1045 equivalents may test <0.25% C, shifting to lower carbon subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include chemical composition certificate (C: 0.43-0.50%); ensure not 'further worked' per Chapter 72 notes; check AD/CVD orders on specific grades
