Last updated: April 2026 dataRaw and intermediate inputs used in steel production — including iron ore, scrap, pig iron, and ferroalloys — fall under this end-use grouping and are critical upstream commodities for domestic steel mills. Several steelmaking inputs are subject to Section 232 tariffs, making origin and product classification decisions consequential for cost management. Importers should track whether specific materials qualify for Section 232 exclusions, which are product- and country-specific and subject to periodic review.

Many steelmaking inputs, particularly steel mill products and certain ferroalloys, are subject to Section 232 tariffs. However, coverage varies by specific HTS subheading and country of origin, and product-specific exclusions have been granted in some cases. Importers should verify current remedy status for each line item with a licensed customs broker.
Steelmaking materials generally refer to upstream inputs — ores, scrap, pig iron, and alloying agents — rather than rolled, drawn, or fabricated steel mill products. The distinction matters because duty rates, Section 232 applicability, and statistical reporting categories differ between raw inputs and semi-finished or finished steel forms.
