A36 Alloy Steel Angle Bar from Japan
An L-shaped structural section made from A36 grade alloy steel, commonly used in construction frameworks and building supports. It falls under HTS 7228.70.60.00 as an angle shape of other alloy steel, not cold-formed or further worked beyond basic hot-rolling. The alloy composition provides enhanced strength over plain carbon steel.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming alloy steel composition to avoid reclassification as non-alloy steel under 7216
• Declare exact dimensions and yield strength to distinguish from universal mill plates or reinforcing bars
• Avoid surface treatments like painting before import, as 'further worked' status shifts to 7228.80
