AISI 52100 Alloy Steel Bar
Hot-rolled AISI 52100 chrome alloy steel bar for bearing races and components. Classified under HTS 7228.60.60.00 as non-cold-formed other alloy steel, though similar to ball-bearing steel specs but not exact match to note (h). High carbon-chromium content.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If exact ball-bearing steel per note (h)
Strict composition limits in note (h) qualify for ball-bearing steel subheading.
If cold-finished for precision bearings
Precision bearing stock often cold-drawn, moving to 7228.30.
If imported as finished bearing components
Manufactured into bearings shifts to Chapter 84/85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• 52100 borders ball-bearing steel; precise chemistry analysis prevents reclassification
• Specify 'merchant bar' vs 'bearing quality' on docs to maintain 7228.60 status
• Ensure straightness tolerance meets bar specs, not wire rod tolerances

AISI 4140 Alloy Steel Round Bar
A hot-rolled round bar made from AISI 4140 chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, commonly used for shafts, gears, and axles in machinery. It falls under HTS 7228.60.60.00 as a non-cold-formed bar of other alloy steel, not meeting specific alloy steel definitions in chapter notes like tool steel or ball-bearing steel. The product is supplied in straight lengths without cold-forming processes.
