U.S. exports of hot-rolled flat iron or nonalloy steel — wide coils with patterns in relief (HS 720810) totaled $12.0M in July 2026.
Importers of Hot-Rolled Flat Iron or Nonalloy Steel — Wide Coils with Patterns in Relief paid $2.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $4.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Hot-Rolled Flat Iron or Nonalloy Steel — Wide Coils with Patterns in Relief imports of $4.2M in July 2026 ran 56% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.7M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFlat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel, 600 mm or wider, in coils, hot-rolled only, with patterns in relief — commonly known as tread plate or checkered coil — is used in flooring, stair treads, vehicle platforms, and industrial decking where slip resistance is required. The US schedule splits this heading by whether the coil has been pickled and by thickness (7208101500, 7208102500, 7208103000, 7208106000), distinctions that affect surface condition and downstream processing requirements. Canada leads US supply, with Germany and Mexico also significant. Section 232 tariffs apply to all lines.

Pickling removes the mill scale oxide layer formed during hot rolling, producing a cleaner surface. Within 7208.10, the US schedule distinguishes pickled coils (7208101500) from non-pickled coils (7208102500 and the thickness-based lines). The pickling status affects downstream processing — pickled coils are typically ready for cold-rolling or direct fabrication — and must be accurately declared at entry based on the supplier's processing documentation.
The nominal thickness declared on the mill certificate governs classification. For coils near the 4.75 mm boundary, importers should request the actual measured thickness range from the mill, as hot-rolling tolerances can place a nominally 4.75 mm product above or below the threshold depending on the measurement point. Retaining the mill certificate and any thickness survey data is advisable in case of a CBP inquiry.
