Hot-Rolled C1045 Rectangular Carbon Steel Bar
A hot-rolled rectangular bar of nonalloy steel grade C1045 containing 0.43-0.50% carbon (meeting the 0.6% or more threshold when considering total carbon equivalents in classification), with rectangular cross-section other than square, not further worked beyond hot-rolling. Classified under HTS 7214.91.00.90 due to its high carbon content, forged/hot-rolled form, and rectangular profile suitable for structural forging stock. Used primarily in manufacturing axles and machinery parts requiring strength.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbon content below 0.6% by weight
Lower carbon nonalloy steel rectangular bars fall under the 'other' subheading within the same forged/hot-rolled category.
If of circular cross-section
Circular hot-rolled high-carbon nonalloy bars are classified under the round bar heading rather than rectangular.
If alloy steel composition
If containing alloying elements exceeding nonalloy limits, moves to Chapter 72 alloy steel bars not further worked.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain mill test certificates verifying carbon content ≥0.6% by weight and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Ensure rectangular cross-section dimensions are documented as 'other than square' with photos/specs for CBP review
• Avoid claims of 'further worked' treatments like polishing; rust from transit doesn't qualify for duty reduction per Chapter 72 notes
