Last updated: August 2026 dataSubject to Section 232 tariffs, iron and steel imports that fall outside more precisely defined end-use categories are captured here as a residual grouping. These products serve a wide range of downstream manufacturing and construction applications where the specific mill form or processing stage does not align with a named end-use heading. Importers should verify whether a product's form, grade, or processing method places it in a more specific iron and steel category before classifying under this residual heading, as misclassification can affect both duty liability and trade-remedy exposure.
