U.S. imports of coated electrodes of base metal for electric arc welding (HS 831110) totaled $3.9M in July 2026, traded with 31 countries.
Importers of Coated Electrodes of Base Metal for Electric Arc Welding paid $311K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $2.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFlux-coated stick electrodes for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) are a foundational consumable in structural fabrication, shipbuilding, pipeline construction, and heavy equipment repair, classified under a single 10-digit line (8311100000). The coating chemistry — rutile, basic (low-hydrogen), cellulosic, or iron-powder — determines the electrode's mechanical properties and weld position capability, making specification documentation essential for both customs classification and end-user qualification. Importers should be aware that welding consumables from certain origins have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders historically, and current AD/CVD scope should be verified before sourcing.

Yes. Coated electrodes for arc welding have been subject to antidumping duty orders from various origins in the past. Importers should check the current scope of any active AD/CVD orders with the US International Trade Commission and US Department of Commerce, and confirm with a licensed customs broker whether their specific product and origin are covered.
No. At the 10-digit level, 8311100000 covers all coated electrodes of base metal for electric arc welding regardless of coating chemistry (rutile, basic, cellulosic, etc.) or base metal alloy. Coating type is commercially critical for weld qualification but does not create separate tariff lines within this heading.
