U.S. imports of Angles, Shapes, and Sections of Other Alloy Steel (HS 722870) totaled $4.4M in August 2026, imported from 22 countries.
Importers of Angles, Shapes, and Sections of Other Alloy Steel paid $2.0M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 44.47% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataStructural angles, I-beams, H-sections, T-sections, and other profiles rolled or otherwise formed from non-stainless alloy steel serve specialized structural and mechanical engineering applications where carbon steel sections lack sufficient strength or toughness. The US schedule distinguishes hot-rolled from other production methods and separates profiles by maximum cross-sectional dimension (above and below 76 mm) across lines including 7228703010 through 7228706000. The United Kingdom and Spain lead US supply, with Austria and Luxembourg — home to major European long-product mills — also prominent sources.

The 76 mm maximum cross-section threshold is the primary dimensional split within this heading, separating larger structural profiles (at or above 76 mm) from smaller sections (under 76 mm). For angles specifically, the schedule also distinguishes hot-rolled from non-hot-rolled production methods, so both the manufacturing process and the measured maximum cross-section must be confirmed before selecting the correct 10-digit line.
Section 232 tariffs apply to alloy steel sections regardless of end use. Product-specific exclusion requests can be filed with the Department of Commerce, and end-use in critical infrastructure may be cited as a supporting factor, but approval is not guaranteed. Importers should also verify whether any country-level arrangements affect the Section 232 treatment for shipments from the UK, Spain, or Austria at the time of entry.
