Cold-Formed 0.4% Carbon Steel Shafting Bar
A large-diameter cold-finished bar made from nonalloy steel containing 0.45% carbon by weight, with a cross-section of 250 mm, used for manufacturing heavy machinery shafts. It falls under HTS 7215.50.00.65 as other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel, cold-formed or cold-finished, with 0.25-0.6% carbon and diameter exceeding 228 mm. Not further worked beyond cold-finishing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-formed
Hot-rolled bars with 0.6% or less carbon fall under 7214, before cold-finishing operations.
If further worked with polishing or coating
Any surface treatment beyond cold-finishing (per chapter notes) moves to 'other bars and rods, further worked'.
If alloy steel exceeding chapter exclusions
Alloy steels (with specified elements per notes) classify in Chapter 72 headings 7224-7228.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates confirming carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Measure and document exact diameter or cross-section exceeding 228 mm at entry; tolerances must comply with HTS specs
• Ensure no further surface treatments like coating or polishing, as that shifts to 7215.90 headings
