U.S. imports of hot-rolled iron or nonalloy steel bars and rods in irregular coils, circular cross-section under 14 mm diameter (HS 721391) totaled $51.4M in July 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Hot-Rolled Iron or Nonalloy Steel Bars and Rods in Irregular Coils, Circular Cross-Section Under 14 mm Diameter paid $12.7M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 25% on $51.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataSmall-diameter rod coil — circular cross-section under 14 mm — is the primary feedstock for wire drawing, fastener blanks, tire cord wire, and cold-heading quality (CHQ) applications, making it one of the most widely traded steel mill products by volume. The US schedule is notably granular: lines 7213913011 (tire cord wire rod), 7213913015 (CHQ grade), 7213913020 (welding quality), and 7213913093 (NESOI) reflect the end-use-driven quality distinctions that buyers and customs brokers must navigate carefully. Canada leads declared supply, with Vietnam and Japan also significant sources.

The US tariff lines under 721391 separate tire cord wire rod (7213913011), cold-heading quality rod (7213913015), and welding-quality rod (7213913020) as distinct lines, with a residual NESOI line (7213913093) for other non-tempered grades under 14 mm. Classification depends on the steel's chemical composition, cleanliness specifications, and the declared end use supported by mill certificates. Misclassification between these lines can affect AD/CVD scope determinations, as some orders are grade-specific.
Lines 7213914500 and 7213916000 split the under-14 mm diameter category by carbon content — above and below 0.6% carbon respectively — for rods that do not fall into the tempered or specialty-grade lines. High-carbon rod (above 0.6%) is used for spring wire and high-strength applications, while lower-carbon grades serve general wire drawing. The carbon content on the mill certificate is the controlling document for this distinction.
