Chromium-Plated Nonalloy Steel Shafts
Hot-rolled nonalloy steel round shafts with hard chromium plating for wear resistance in industrial machinery. Classified in HTS 7215.90.10.00 as other metal-coated bars/rods, not cold-formed. Plating is surface treatment but doesn't qualify as 'further worked' per chapter notes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as finished transmission shafts for machinery
Complete machine parts classify in Chapter 84, not raw material Chapter 72.
If burnished or chemically treated beyond plating
Surface treatments like burnishing constitute 'further worked' per chapter note.
If high-strength steel specifications met
Minimum yield point requirements in note (a) classify as high-strength steel.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Distinguish from 'further worked' by avoiding polishing claims; simple plating stays here
• Machinery end-use declarations help prevent parts classification under 84/85
• Chrome thickness specs critical; exceeding certain levels may trigger chemical treatment note
