Lead-Free Cutting Steel Round Bar 12L14
A 1-inch diameter round bar made from 12L14 free-cutting steel containing by weight 0.1 percent or more of lead for improved machinability. This nonalloy steel bar is cold-finished to precise tolerances without further surface working. It falls under HTS 7215.10.00.10 due to its lead content and cold-formed production process.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-finished
Hot-rolled free-cutting steel bars move to heading 7213 before cold-forming operations
If further worked with polishing or coating
Any surface treatment beyond cold-finishing like polishing classifies under 'other bars and rods, further worked'
If alloy steel with specified elements exceeding nonalloy limits
Alloy steel free-machining bars fall in Chapter 72 heading 7228, not nonalloy steel in 7215

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying lead content ≥0.1% by weight; ensure documentation confirms cold-finished state without further working like polishing; watch for reclassification if lead content falls below threshold
