Last updated: August 2026 dataSubject to Section 232 tariffs as a steel mill product, these cold-formed or cold-finished structural sections are produced by roll-forming or press-braking flat-rolled steel rather than by hot rolling, giving them tighter dimensional tolerances and a work-hardened surface suited to light structural, framing, and rack-system applications. The single US tariff line (7216610000) covers all such nonalloy steel angles, channels, and open sections obtained from flat-rolled feedstock. Mexico is the leading supplier, followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Netherlands.

HTS 721661 applies specifically to angles, shapes, and sections that are formed by cold-working (e.g., roll-forming or press-braking) a flat-rolled starting material. Sections produced by hot rolling or by cold-drawing from non-flat-rolled feedstock classify elsewhere in Chapter 72. The flat-rolled origin of the feedstock is a key classification criterion.
Yes. As a steel mill product, cold-formed sections under 721661 are generally subject to Section 232 tariffs unless the exporting country has a negotiated quota arrangement or exclusion. Importers should confirm the current status of any country-specific quota or product exclusion before finalizing landed-cost calculations.
