Import Tips & Compliance

Machinability additives don't change classification; focus on base alloy steel

Large diameter common; verify not semi-finished per size limits

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.

AISI 4340 Alloy Steel Flat Bar

Hot-rolled flat bar of AISI 4340 nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, ideal for structural components and aircraft parts. Classified under HTS 7228.60.60.00 as other bars of alloy steel that are not cold-formed and do not qualify as tool steel or other specified types. Delivered in rectangular cross-sections without further cold working.

17-4 PH Stainless Alloy Steel Round Bar

Precipitation-hardening 17-4 PH stainless alloy steel round bar, hot-rolled for aerospace fasteners and valves. Although containing 17% chromium, classified as 'other alloy steel' bar under 7228.60.60.00 when not cold-formed, distinguishing from basic stainless categories. Heat-treated condition H1150 standard.

HY-80 High-Yield Alloy Steel Bar

HY-80 quenched and tempered alloy steel bar for naval submarine hulls and pressure vessels. Classified in HTS 7228.60.60.00 as non-cold-formed other alloy steel bar, with Ni-Cr-Mo meeting high-strength requirements but not chapter-specific steels. Minimum yield strength 80 ksi.

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.

EN24 Alloy Steel Bright Bar

EN24 (4340 equivalent) alloy steel bar in bright drawn finish, but hot-rolled base form. HTS 7228.60.60.00 for non-cold-formed other alloy steel bars used in tooling and shafts. Chromium-molybdenum composition for high tensile strength.
