AISI 1060 Hot-Rolled Round Steel Bar from Canada
A 1-inch diameter round bar made from AISI 1060 carbon steel containing 0.60% carbon by weight, hot-rolled and not further worked beyond twisting after rolling. It falls under HTS 7214.99.0045 as other bars and rods of nonalloy steel with 0.6% or more carbon, in round form. Commonly used for making knives and hand tools due to its high hardness.

Import Tips
• Certify exact carbon content (0.6%+) via mill test certificate to avoid reclassification to lower carbon HTS codes
• Ensure documentation specifies 'not further worked than hot-rolled' to prevent duty shifts to Chapter 72 worked steel headings
• Watch for twisting after rolling, which is permitted but must not constitute cold working or deformation beyond note definitions
