7214.91.00.90/Hot-Rolled C1045 Rectangular Carbon Steel Bar/China

Hot-Rolled C1045 Rectangular Carbon Steel Bar from China

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.

Import Tips

• 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
