7214.99.00.40/Forged 0.4% Carbon Steel Round Bar 160mm Diameter/Germany

Forged 0.4% Carbon Steel Round Bar 160mm Diameter from Germany

A forged round bar made from nonalloy steel containing 0.4% carbon by weight, with a diameter of 160 mm, suitable for heavy machinery components. It is not further worked beyond forging and meets the HTS 7214.99.0040 criteria as other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel, hot-rolled or forged, with diameter exceeding 152 mm and carbon content between 0.25% and 0.6%.

Import Tips

• Certify exact carbon content (0.25-0.6%) via mill test certificate to avoid reclassification to lower carbon headings

• Measure and document diameter exceeding 152 mm at entry; provide dimensional specs to CBP to confirm 'rounds' category

• Avoid any post-rolling surface treatments like coating, as 'further worked' products shift to heading 7215
