Same tool steel in angle/shape form (not round/flat bars) goes to dedicated heading.
If chipper knife steel
Specific tool steels meeting note (f) composition classify separately from other tool steel.
If circular cross-section >80mm
Large-diameter hot-rolled alloy steel bars (non-tool) have separate provisions.
