U.S. imports of cold-formed or cold-finished iron or nonalloy steel bars and rods (HS 721550) totaled $2.4M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCold-drawn and cold-finished nonalloy steel bars — excluding free-cutting grades — are precision inputs for automotive components, hydraulic cylinders, shafting, and general engineering applications where tight tolerances are critical. Nine 10-digit lines under this heading stratify product by carbon content (below 0.25%, 0.25–0.6%, and 0.6% or above) and, for round bars, by diameter, with lines 7215500015 through 7215500090 covering the full range. Canada is the top supplier, with Italy and Spain also significant, reflecting European producers' strength in precision cold-drawn grades. Section 232 tariffs apply to all entries.

The distinction turns on whether the steel meets the definition of 'alloy steel' under Chapter 72 notes, which sets specific threshold percentages for alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. Nonalloy grades that fall below all those thresholds classify here under 7215; grades meeting any alloy threshold move to Chapter 72 headings for alloy steel bars.
CBP expects the entry package to include a mill test certificate stating the carbon content by percentage and the nominal diameter or cross-sectional dimensions. These data points determine both the 10-digit HTS line and, where applicable, the applicability of any antidumping or countervailing duty orders that reference specific size or grade parameters.
