Machined Steam Turbine Rotor for Industrial Power Generation from China
This rotor is designed for use in steam turbines employed in industrial power plants, machined solely to remove casting fins, gates, sprues, and risers for basic finishing preparation. It has not undergone further advancement beyond cleaning and machining to allow location in finishing machinery, aligning with HTS 8406.90.30.00 for unfinished steam turbine parts. The rotor maintains its rough profile suitable for subsequent balancing and blading.

Import Tips
• Verify machining is limited to removal of fins/gates/sprues/risers via detailed process documentation to avoid reclassification as finished parts
• Provide engineering drawings showing rotor state to confirm 'not further advanced' status during customs valuation
