Products classified under HTS 7228.60.10.60
52100 Tool Steel Bar Stock
52100 chrome alloy tool steel bar (1% C, 1.5% Cr) for bearings and instruments, meeting Note (e)(ii). HTS 7228.60.10.60 as other tool steel bars. Common bearing grade but qualifies chemically as tool steel.
Crucible CPM-10V Tool Steel Bar
CPM-10V powder metal tool steel bar with extreme wear resistance for blanking dies. Qualifies tool steel via carbon/chromium per Note (e)(i). HTS 7228.60.10.60 for these advanced PM tool steel configurations.
D2 Tool Steel Flat Bar
A flat bar made from D2 alloy tool steel, containing over 1.2% carbon and more than 10.5% chromium, used for making punches and dies. It falls under HTS 7228.60.10.60 as other bars and rods of tool steel (not high-speed steel) per Chapter 72 note (e). The rectangular cross-section classifies it as a bar rather than a wire or profile.
O1 Tool Steel Round Bar
Round bar of O1 oil-hardening tool steel with 0.85-1.0% carbon and 1-1.8% manganese, ideal for blades and knives. Classified under HTS 7228.60.10.60 as tool steel bars per U.S. Note (e)(iii). Not high-speed steel and in straight lengths.
A2 Air-Hardening Tool Steel Square Bar
Square bar of A2 tool steel (1% Cr, 5% Cr variant meeting Note (e)(ii)), used for shear blades and punches. HTS 7228.60.10.60 covers other tool steel bars not high-speed. Square dimension distinguishes from wire rod.
S7 Shock-Resisting Tool Steel Bar
Rectangular bar of S7 tool steel with high impact toughness for chisels and punches, meeting tool steel definition via molybdenum content. Falls in HTS 7228.60.10.60 as other tool steel bars. Hot-rolled finish without further working.
CPM-M4 Tool Steel Round Bar
Particle metallurgy CPM-M4 tool steel round bar for wear-resistant dies, classified as tool steel per multiple Note (e) criteria (C, Cr, Mo). HTS 7228.60.10.60 for other tool steel bars not high-speed. PM process doesn't change classification.
H13 Hot Work Tool Steel Flat Bar
H13 chromium-molybdenum hot work tool steel flat bar for die casting molds, meeting Note (e)(iv) with 0.9-1.2% Cr and 0.9-1.4% Mo. HTS 7228.60.10.60 covers these tool steel configurations in bar form.
L6 Tool Steel Square Stock
L6 nickel-chromium tool steel square bar for arbors and gears, qualifying under tool steel via carbon/chromium specs. Classified HTS 7228.60.10.60 as other tool steel bars in straight lengths, hot-rolled condition.
M2 Tool Steel Drill Rod Blank
M2 tool steel round bar used as drill rod blanks (not hollow), meeting multiple tool steel criteria. HTS 7228.60.10.60 for non-high-speed tool steel bars despite drill application. Solid cross-section distinguishes from 7228.80.
T15 Tool Steel Rectangle Bar
T15 tungsten tool steel rectangular bar for form tools, classified as tool steel though high alloy. HTS 7228.60.10.60 captures 'other' tool steel bars excluding only high-speed variants. Hot-rolled mill finish.
W1 Water-Hardening Tool Steel Round
W1 plain carbon tool steel round with >0.85% C for tools and gauges, meeting Note (e)(iii) manganese limits. HTS 7228.60.10.60 captures carbon tool steels as 'other tool steel.' Minimal alloying.
D3 Tool Steel Plate Bar
D3 high-carbon high-chromium tool steel thick flat bar (meeting Note e(i) >10.5% Cr), used for thread rolling dies. Classified HTS 7228.60.10.60 as tool steel bar, distinguished from universal mill plate by use spec.
F2 Tool Steel Hex Bar
F2 shock-resisting tool steel hexagonal bar for nut cracking and riveting tools. Meets tool steel via carbon specs. HTS 7228.60.10.60 as other bars/rods - hex profile still 'bar' not 'shape'.
PM A-11 Tool Steel Flat Stock
PM A-11 alloy tool steel flat stock with high vanadium for wear parts, qualifying under multiple Note (e) criteria. HTS 7228.60.10.60 for PM tool steel bars in flat form. Advanced metallurgy doesn't affect base classification.
