Products classified under HTS 7215.90.50.00
Annealed Nonalloy Steel Tie Rod Blank
Annealed blank for tie rods, nonalloy steel for construction tension members. HTS 7215.90.5000 for other annealed bars excluding reinforcing deformations. Annealing softens without special alloying per Chapter 72.
Centerless Ground Steel Shim Stock
Thin nonalloy steel shim stock centerless ground for machinery adjustments. Under HTS 7215.90.5000 as other thin bars/rods of nonalloy steel. Precision grinding fits basic working, not universal plate or further treatments.
Normalized Mild Steel Bar Stock
Mild steel bar stock normalized for uniform microstructure in toolmaking. HTS 7215.90.5000 covers other nonalloy bars not specially alloyed or deformed. Normalization is metallurgical processing within nonalloy provisions.
Cold-Drawn Mild Steel Round Bar
A nonalloy steel bar with a carbon content under 0.6%, cold-drawn to precise dimensions for use in manufacturing shafts and pins. Classified under HTS 7215.90.5000 as other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel, not concrete reinforcing and not further worked beyond drawing. It meets Chapter 72 definitions for nonalloy steel products in simple processed forms.
Ground Nonalloy Steel Hexagonal Rod
Hexagonal cross-section rod of iron or nonalloy steel, ground for smooth surface finish, used in fasteners and fixtures. Falls under HTS 7215.90.5000 as other processed bars not qualifying as concrete reinforcing or further worked with coatings. Nonalloy composition per Chapter 72 notes distinguishes it from alloy steels.
Peeled Surface Mild Steel Square Bar
Square bar of mild nonalloy steel with surface peeled to remove defects, ideal for structural components. HTS 7215.90.5000 covers this as other bars and rods of nonalloy steel, excluding reinforcing types and advanced surface treatments like polishing beyond peeling. Fits Chapter 72 for simply worked iron/nonalloy products.
Cold-Finished Nonalloy Steel Flat Bar
Flat bar of nonalloy steel cold-finished for dimensional accuracy, used in machinery frames. Under HTS 7215.90.5000 as other nonalloy steel bars not deformed for concrete or further worked with nonmetallic coatings. Adheres to Chapter 72 nonalloy definitions without special steel compositions.
Precision Ground Iron Rod
Rod of wrought iron or low-carbon nonalloy steel, precision ground for linear motion guides. HTS 7215.90.5000 includes such other bars excluding reinforcing and coated types. Ground finish is basic working, not 'further worked' like chemical treatments in Chapter 72 notes.
Drawn Nonalloy Steel Key Stock Bar
Key stock bar of nonalloy steel, drawn to standard sizes for machine keyways and alignments. Classified in HTS 7215.90.5000 for other simple processed nonalloy bars/rods. Excludes special steels like tool or razor blade types per Chapter notes.
Turned Mild Steel Shaft Blank
Cylindrical mild steel blank turned on a lathe for shaft production, nonalloy composition. HTS 7215.90.5000 for other bars/rods of iron/nonalloy steel, not further worked beyond turning/peeling. Blank state keeps it as semi-finished per Chapter 72.
Polished Nonalloy Steel Dowel Pin Rod
Rod stock for dowel pins, lightly polished nonalloy steel for assembly applications. Under HTS 7215.90.5000 as other surface-processed bars excluding Chapter note (g) heat-resisting or coated types. Polishing here is basic, not burnishing to 'further worked' level.
Cold-Rolled Iron L-Shaped Angle Bar
L-shaped angle bar of nonalloy iron, cold-rolled for framework supports. HTS 7215.90.5000 captures other shapes of nonalloy bars not hot-rolled or further treated. Angle profile processed simply fits nonalloy rod/bar provisions.
Honed Nonalloy Steel Hollow Bar
Hollow drill bar of nonalloy steel, honed interior for hydraulic rods. Classified HTS 7215.90.5000 for other nonalloy steel bars, not tubes of 7304 or coated. Honing is internal working not covered as 'further worked' surface treatment.
Bright Drawn Mild Steel Bright Bar
Bright finish bar drawn from mild nonalloy steel billets for aesthetic and precise applications. HTS 7215.90.5000 for such other drawn/polished nonalloy bars excluding special purpose steels. Bright drawing provides luster without Chapter-defined further working.
Stress-Relieved Nonalloy Steel Rod
Nonalloy steel rod heat-treated for stress relief, used in high-tolerance fixtures. Falls under HTS 7215.90.5000 as other processed bars of iron/nonalloy steel. Heat relief doesn't alter classification from simple bars per Chapter notes.
