Last updated: August 2026 dataServing as the residual category for iron and nonalloy steel structural profiles, this heading captures sections that are neither cold-formed nor cold-finished and do not fit more specific headings — including drilled or notched variants (7216990010) and a broad NESOI line (7216990090). India leads US import supply under this heading, followed by Canada and China. The presence of China as a top-three source means importers should evaluate Section 301 exposure in addition to Section 232 obligations.
