Incoloy 825 Cold-Finished Round Bar from China
Incoloy 825 is a high-nickel alloy steel (Ni 38-46%, Cr 19.5-23.5%) used for its excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments. This cold-finished round bar falls under HTS 7228.50.50.05 as it is not further worked beyond cold-forming and qualifies as high-nickel alloy steel per Chapter 72 notes. Commonly used in chemical processing equipment and marine applications.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming high-nickel alloy composition (typically >30% Ni) to verify classification under 7228.50.50.05
• Ensure documentation specifies 'cold-finished' status with no further surface treatments like coating or polishing to avoid reclassification
