Last updated: April 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.

Heading 721699 is the catch-all for angles, shapes, and sections of iron or nonalloy steel that are not hot-worked (721640/721650), not cold-formed or cold-finished (721661/721669/721691), and not otherwise specifically described. Examples include sections produced by forging or other working methods not covered by the preceding subheadings.
Yes. Steel sections of Chinese origin can be subject to both Section 232 tariffs and Section 301 tariffs simultaneously, depending on the specific product and tariff line. Importers sourcing from China should confirm the applicable trade-remedy stack with a licensed customs broker, as the combined duty burden can be significant.
