AISI 1045 Hot-Rolled Steel Round Bar
AISI 1045 is a medium carbon steel (0.43-0.50% carbon) supplied as hot-rolled round bars, not further worked beyond hot-rolling. It falls under HTS 7214.99.0075 because it contains 0.25% or more but less than 0.6% carbon by weight and is a nonalloy steel bar without additional processing like cold-drawing or surface treatment.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If forged rather than hot-rolled
Forged bars and rods of nonalloy rectangular cross-section fall under 7213, while round/hot-rolled go to 7214.
If cold-drawn or otherwise further worked
Any surface treatment beyond hot-rolling (polishing, coating) moves product to Chapter 72 'further worked' provisions.
If alloy steel with specified elements exceeding nonalloy limits
Presence of alloying elements per Chapter 72 note (e.g., >10.5% Cr) reclassifies to alloy steel headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates confirming carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bars are truly 'not further worked' – no polishing, coating, or cold-finishing, as these shift to 7215 or higher
• Declare exact dimensions and cross-section; rectangular bars over certain sizes may fall under different subheadings
