Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tool steel but not ball-bearing grade
Other tool steel (non-high-speed, non-ball-bearing) falls under 7228.60.80
If semi-finished rather than fully formed bar
Semi-finished alloy steel products (rectangular cross-section > edge dimension) classify in 7224
If concrete reinforcing type with deformations
Deformed bars for concrete reinforcement classify under 7214.20 per note (c)

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit detailed chemical analysis reports at entry proving note (h) compliance; declare specific use for ball bearings if requested; beware of over-rolling into shapes that might trigger 7228.40 angles/shapes classification

AISI 52100 Ball-Bearing Steel Round Bar
A precision-ground round bar made from AISI 52100 alloy steel, specifically formulated for ball-bearing applications with controlled carbon (0.95-1.13%), chromium (1.25-1.65%), and low sulfur/phosphorus levels as defined in HTS Chapter 72 note (h). This falls under HTS 7228.60.10.30 as other bars and rods of tool steel (not high-speed) of ball-bearing steel. It is hot-rolled or forged into bar form without further working beyond basic surface treatments.
