Machined Steam Turbine Rotor for Industrial Power Generation from China
A precision-machined rotor designed for steam turbines used in industrial power plants, cleaned and machined solely to remove casting fins, gates, sprues, and risers. This allows precise location in finishing machinery without further advancement. It falls under HTS 8406.90.60.00 as a semi-finished part of steam turbines limited to basic post-casting cleanup.

Import Tips
• Verify machining does not exceed cleaning for fins/gates/sprues or location fixturing to avoid reclassification as finished parts under 8406.90.10
• Provide foundry certifications and machining logs proving limited processing to comply with HTS note restrictions
