Cold-Formed Low Carbon Steel Shaft from Japan
A precision cold-finished round bar of nonalloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon, diameter 25 mm, used for manufacturing rotating shafts in machinery. It falls under HTS 7215.50.0016 as other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished, with cross-section under 76 mm. The low carbon content ensures good ductility for forming applications.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition certificate showing <0.25% carbon to avoid reclassification to higher carbon categories
• Measure and document exact diameter/cross-section (<76 mm) with caliper readings for customs inspection
• Ensure no additional surface treatments beyond cold-finishing to prevent shifting to 'further worked' headings
