Silico-Manganese Hot-Rolled Coil for Gear Forging from Canada
Irregularly wound hot-rolled coils of silico-manganese steel bars and rods optimized for forging industrial gears. HTS 7227.20.00 applies due to the precise alloy makeup providing heat resistance and the hot-rolled, coiled presentation before forging.

Import Tips
• Verify no 'further working' like coating occurred, as per Chapter 72 notes, to remain in 7227
• Document hot-rolling process to distinguish from cold-rolled alternatives in adjacent headings
• Beware rust/discoloration allowances—Chapter 72 note denies duty reductions for pre-entry rust on steel coils
