U.S. imports of cold-rolled flat iron or nonalloy steel, 600mm+ wide, in coils, over 1mm to under 3mm thick (HS 720916) totaled $17.6M in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThis thickness band — over 1 mm but under 3 mm — represents the core of the cold-rolled coil market, supplying automotive body panels, appliance housings, and general manufacturing stampings. The US schedule subdivides the heading into seven tariff lines distinguishing high-strength steel (HSS), advanced high-strength steel (AHSS), ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS), annealed grades, and standard nonalloy coil, reflecting the automotive industry's demand for differentiated mechanical properties. Canada leads imports, with Vietnam and Sweden also prominent suppliers; all lines are subject to Section 232 measures.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) and ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) lines — such as 7209160040 — cover dual-phase, martensitic, and similar microalloyed grades engineered for crash energy management in automotive structures. Standard high-strength lines cover conventional high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) grades. The distinction matters for classification because the two categories carry separate 10-digit HTS codes and may be subject to different antidumping or countervailing duty orders depending on origin.
Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on cold-rolled steel flat products from various countries, including Vietnam, have been in effect. Importers should check the current scope of any active orders with the International Trade Administration and confirm whether their specific grade and specification falls within the order's scope before entry.
