7228.10.00/M2 High-Speed Steel Round Bar/Japan

M2 High-Speed Steel Round Bar from Japan

A cylindrical bar made from M2 high-speed steel, an alloy tool steel with tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium exceeding the thresholds in note (e) for high-speed applications. Used primarily for manufacturing cutting tools like drills and end mills due to its red-hardness and wear resistance. Classified under HTS 7228.10.00 as bars and rods specifically of high-speed steel.

Import Tips

• Obtain mill test certificates verifying high-speed steel composition per US note (e) to avoid reclassification as general alloy steel

• Ensure accurate dimensional measurements as 'bars and rods' excludes products meeting wire definitions under general chapter notes

• Declare exact alloy elements to prevent disputes over high-speed qualification; common pitfall is insufficient documentation
