Cold-Formed Silico-Manganese Steel Round Bar from China
A cylindrical bar made from silico-manganese steel, cold-formed to achieve precise dimensions and enhanced surface finish without heat treatment. Classified under HTS 7228.20.5000 as cold-formed bars and rods of silico-manganese alloy steel, distinguished from hot-rolled products by the forming process at room temperature.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition meets silico-manganese steel definition (typically 0.5-2% Si, 10-20% Mn) with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Document cold-forming process evidence, as hot-rolled equivalents fall under 7228.30; inspect for surface defects per Chapter 72 rust note
• Ensure accurate dimensional tolerances in entry docs, common pitfall is misdeclaring as hot-rolled leading to duty adjustments
