Forged Square Carbon Steel Bar 2x2 Inch
A forged square bar made from nonalloy steel, measuring 2 inches by 2 inches in cross-section, used in structural applications like machinery frames. It is classified under HTS 7214.10.00.00 because it is forged and not further worked beyond hot-rolling or extrusion, meeting the criteria for other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel. The forging process imparts superior strength without additional surface treatments.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If concrete reinforcing with ribs or indentations
Bars with deformations for concrete reinforcement fall under 7213.91 as concrete reinforcing bars per U.S. Note (c), not plain forged bars.
If cold-finished or ground after forging
Any further working like polishing, grinding, or coating moves it to 7214.99 per Chapter 72 definition of 'further worked'.
If fabricated into structural shapes or sections
Assembled or welded into beams, columns, or other structures classifies under Chapter 73 as fabricated steel products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the steel is nonalloy (less than 10% alloying elements) via mill test certificate to avoid reclassification; declare exact dimensions and forging process; watch for rust discoloration as no duty allowance is permitted per Chapter 72 notes
