Cold-Formed 0.4% Carbon Steel Shafting Bar from China
A cold-finished round bar of nonalloy steel containing 0.4% carbon by weight, with a 25 mm diameter, used for manufacturing rotating shafts in industrial machinery. It falls under HTS 7215.50.00.61 as other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel, not further worked than cold-formed, with 0.25-0.6% carbon and cross-section under 76 mm.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Measure and document exact diameter to confirm under 76 mm; exceeding triggers different subheading
• Ensure no additional surface treatments beyond cold-finishing, as 'further worked' per Chapter 72 notes changes classification
