Last updated: April 2026 dataRepresenting a further-processed tier within cold-formed flat-rolled sections, this heading covers profiles that have undergone additional cold-working beyond simple forming โ including drilled or notched sections classified under 7216910010. The US schedule also carries a general NESOI line (7216910090) for other variants. Mexico and Canada together account for the top two import sources, and USMCA rules-of-origin compliance is a practical consideration for North American supply chains subject to Section 232.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page โ verify before relying on it.
Heading 721691 applies when the cold-formed or cold-finished section from flat-rolled products has been further worked โ for example, by drilling, punching, notching, or other secondary operations. Heading 721661 is limited to sections not further worked than the initial cold-forming or cold-finishing step.
Steel articles from Canada and Mexico may be eligible for Section 232 relief under negotiated arrangements, but the rules are product-specific and subject to quota or other conditions. Importers should verify current Section 232 treatment for Canadian and Mexican origin steel sections with a licensed customs broker before entry, as the terms have evolved over time.
