Last updated: July 2026 dataUnlike their flat-rolled counterparts, these cold-formed or cold-finished sections are produced from non-flat-rolled feedstock — typically wire rod or bar — and are classified under a single US tariff line (7216690000). The distinction in feedstock origin is the critical classification boundary and must be documented at entry. Mexico leads US import supply, with Germany and Italy also among the top sources, reflecting European specialty-profile manufacturing capability.

The key is demonstrating that the feedstock was not a flat-rolled product. Mill certificates or production records showing the starting material was bar, rod, or another non-flat-rolled form are the standard supporting documentation. Customs brokers often request these records proactively to defend the classification against a potential reclassification into 721661.
Trade-remedy coverage for cold-formed steel sections varies by country and product specification. In addition to Section 232, importers should consult the current USITC and Commerce Department order lists to determine whether any antidumping or countervailing duty orders apply to the specific origin and product being imported.
