Last updated: August 2026 dataCovering hot-rolled, hot-drawn, and hot-extruded nonalloy steel bars in cross-sections other than rectangular — including rounds, squares, hexagons, and other profiles — this heading is one of the most granularly subdivided in Chapter 72. The US schedule organizes its thirteen 10-digit lines by carbon content tier and, for round bars, by diameter range, reflecting the distinct end-use markets for low-, medium-, and high-carbon grades. Canada is the leading supplier, with Japan and South Korea also prominent, particularly for higher-carbon and precision-tolerance grades. Section 232 tariffs apply across all lines.

The US 10-digit lines for round bars under 721499 distinguish diameter ranges — below 76 mm, 76–152 mm, and above 152 mm — because these size breaks correspond to different industrial applications and historically different trade-remedy exposures. Importers must measure and document the actual diameter to select the correct line.
A mill test certificate (MTC) or certified material test report (CMTR) from the producing mill is the standard supporting document. It should state the heat or lot number and the chemical composition, including carbon percentage, to substantiate the tariff line selected. CBP may request this at examination.
