Cold-Formed M2 High-Speed Steel Round Bar from Japan
A cold-formed round bar made from M2 high-speed steel, with a maximum cross-sectional dimension of 15 mm, used primarily for manufacturing cutting tools like drills and end mills. It falls under HTS 7228.10.00.30 as it is a cold-formed bar of high-speed steel (containing tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium exceeding tool steel thresholds) under 18 mm. This classification reflects its alloy composition and forming process per Chapter 72 notes.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming high-speed steel composition (e.g
• >5.5% tungsten) to avoid reclassification; ensure accurate measurement of cross-sectional dimension under 18 mm; declare cold-forming process explicitly to distinguish from hot-rolled bars
