Importers of Articles of Iron or Steel (NESOI) paid $195.9M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $389.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataChina dominates US import supply for this broad catch-all heading, with Mexico and Canada also significant sources, making Section 301 tariff exposure a primary classification and cost concern for importers. The heading spans an unusually wide range of fabricated steel products — from tinplate articles (7326901000) and electrical grounding rods (7326908605) to iron ladders (7326908660), burial caskets (7326908677), fence posts with corrugations or studs (7326908635), and paint roller frames (7326908675). Correct 10-digit classification is critical because several lines carry distinct duty treatment, and misclassification between the residual basket lines (7326908688 and 7326908695) and the named specialty lines is a frequent audit trigger. Importers should also verify whether Section 232 steel measures apply to the specific article and country of origin.

7326908695 is specifically limited to articles that are not made of wire, while 7326908688 is the broader residual basket. If your article is fabricated from wire or wire-derived forms, it would not fall under 7326908695; if it is a non-wire fabricated steel article not described by any other named line in the heading, 7326908688 is typically the correct line. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable given the frequency of reclassification disputes in this heading.
Section 232 measures on steel derivatives can apply to articles under this heading, but applicability depends on the specific product, its steel content, and the country of origin. Some countries have negotiated quota arrangements or exemptions. Importers should review current CBP and Commerce Department guidance and confirm applicability with a licensed customs broker before entry.
