Cold-Finished Low-Carbon Steel Shaft 250mm Diameter from Japan
A large-diameter round bar of nonalloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon content, cold-formed or cold-finished for precision tolerances. Used in heavy machinery shafts and structural supports. Classified under HTS 7215.50.0020 due to its diameter exceeding 228 mm, low carbon content, and lack of further surface working beyond cold-finishing.

Import Tips
• Verify carbon content certification below 0.25% by weight via mill test reports to avoid reclassification to higher carbon headings
• Measure and document exact diameter/cross-section exceeding 228 mm at time of entry to confirm eligibility
• Avoid surface treatments like coating or polishing, as they trigger 'further worked' status moving to HTS 7215.90
