- Description
- Circular Section Other Alloy Steel Semi-finished Bars Steels purchased by this company that are produced from re-melted scrap primarily, although some steel mills do make small pig iron additions if required. The primary molten steel production routes methods are: 1. Electric Arc Furnace, or Basic Oxygen Furnace melting of raw materials 2. Ladle Furnace refining 3. Vacuum Degassing 4. Tundish adjustments to chemistry From this point the steel separates into two different solidification methods: 1. Steel poured into oscillating moulds to produce continuously cast Blooms for the vast majority of the material used 2. Steel poured into bottom teemed Ingots for a limited tonnage Following casting of Blooms and Ingots the solidified steel splits into 2 basic types that are used in our forging process: 1. As-Cast Blooms 2. Hot rolled Blooms and Ingots As-Cast Blooms These can be identified by the visually striated surface due to oscillation marks from the continuous casting mould, but no deliberately created surface features or textures are added. These are imported with a circular cross section that is uniform along each bar’s full length. Two sizes are imported 220mm and 230mm diameter and these are used for upset forging where the billet is stood vertically. Hot rolled Blooms and Ingots These can be identified by their “smooth” surfaces which may be mill-finish, lightly scaled, or shotblasted. All bars imported are of uniform cross-section for their full length and are ordered in as: 1. Circular cross-section, or Round, bars with sizes between 200mm and 400mm diameter Higher hardenability chemistry’s may be annealed after rolling to reduce the risk of cracking during transit. The circular section semi-product steel is heated in forging furnaces and forged in closed dies to create a finished shape. The circular section steel bars are continuous cast products of solid section, whether or not subjected to primary hot-rolling; and other products of solid section, which have not been further worked than subjected to primary hot-rolling or roughly shaped by forging, including blanks for angles, shapes or sections. The material is delivered on truck beds, separated by wooden bearers and in bundles of less than 5 tonnes strapped using steel banding.

- Justification
- Classification has been determined in accordance with the following: For the purposes of determining the commodity codes within which goods most appropriately fall, reg 3 (1) of The Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 sets out that the rules of interpretation contained in the following have effect – a. Part Two (Goods Classification Table Rules of Interpretation) of the Tariff of the United Kingdom (Reg 3(1)(a)); and b. Notes to a section or chapter of the Goods Classification Table (Reg 3(1)(b)). GIR 1 has been used to classify this product by the terms of heading 7224: Other alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms; semi-finished products of other alloy steel GIR 5(b) has been used to identify the type of packaging. GIR 6 has been used to classify the goods to subheading level 722490: Other than ingots and other primary forms 8 Digit code 72249038: Other than of tool steel; Other than of rectangular (including square) cross-section; Hot-rolled or obtained by continuous casting; Other than containing by weight not less than 0.9% but not more than 1.15% of carbon, not less than 0.5% but not more than 2% of chromium and, if present, not more than 0.5% of molybdenum Also classified in accordance with: Chapter Note 1(f) to Chapter 72 Chapter Note 1(ij) to Chapter 72 Harmonized System Explanatory Note (HSEN's) to heading 72.07 Harmonized System Explanatory Note (HSEN's) to heading 72.24 (D)
