Cold-Formed 0.4% Carbon Steel Shafting Bar from Canada
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.

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 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
