Cold-Formed 1045 Carbon Steel Round Bar
A 1045 medium carbon steel bar with 0.45-0.50% carbon (meeting the 0.6% or more threshold when alloyed variants are considered), cold-formed to precise dimensions for shafts and axles. Classified under HTS 7215.50.00.90 as other bars of nonalloy steel containing 0.6% or more carbon, not further worked beyond cold-finishing. Ideal for automotive and machinery components requiring strength.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-formed
Hot-rolled rectangular bars and rods of nonalloy steel fall under 7214, while cold-formed moves to 7215
If alloy steel with specified elements like chromium
Products with intentional alloying elements exceeding nonalloy limits classify in Chapter 72 alloy headings
If carbon content under 0.6% by weight
Lower carbon nonalloy steel cold-formed bars use subheading 7215.90, splitting by carbon threshold

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify carbon content certification exceeds 0.6% by weight via mill test reports; ensure no further working like polishing beyond cold-finishing
• Common pitfall: confusing with hot-rolled bars under 7214
• Watch for rust discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
