AISI 1045 Hot-Rolled Rectangular Steel Bar from Japan
Hot-rolled rectangular steel bar made from nonalloy steel with 0.45% carbon content, measuring 50mm x 25mm cross-section. Classified under HTS 7214.91.0060 as other bars of iron or nonalloy steel, rectangular (not square) cross-section, containing 0.25-0.6% carbon, not further worked beyond hot-rolling. Used in machinery manufacturing for structural components.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate verifying carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Measure cross-section precisely; square or near-square profiles shift to different subheadings within 7214
• Confirm no further working (polishing, coating) occurred post-hot-rolling to maintain classification
