AISI 4140 Hot-Rolled Alloy Steel Round Bar from Japan

AISI 4140 is a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel round bar produced by hot-rolling, used for shafts, gears, and axles in machinery. It falls under HTS 7228.30.80 as other bars and rods of alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded. The alloy composition exceeds simple carbon steel definitions and lacks special alloy steel specifications from chapter notes.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming alloy composition (e.g

Cr 0.8-1.1%, Mo 0.15-0.25%) to verify classification as alloy steel

Ensure documentation specifies 'not further worked than hot-rolled' to avoid reclassification under cold-worked headings like 7228.50

Check for high-strength steel note (a) compliance; if yield strength exceeds thresholds, alternative classification may apply
