Importers of Flat-Rolled Iron or Nonalloy Steel, Under 600mm Wide, Cold-Rolled, 0.25% Carbon or More, NESOI paid $488K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 50.00% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Flat-Rolled Iron or Nonalloy Steel, Under 600mm Wide, Cold-Rolled, 0.25% Carbon or More, NESOI imports of $1.0M in August 2026 ran 23% below the year-to-date monthly average of $1.3M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCold-rolled nonalloy steel strip at or above 0.25% carbon content, under 600mm wide, occupies a specialized niche: higher carbon levels increase hardness and wear resistance, making this material suitable for saw blades, springs, hand tools, and cutting edges. The six US tariff lines under this heading distinguish width bands and thickness ranges, with separate lines for coil and non-coil forms. Germany leads supply, followed by Taiwan, India, and South Korea — a supplier mix reflecting the global distribution of specialty cold-rolled strip capacity. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the higher carbon content means this product may also intersect with antidumping orders on certain steel products.

The principal end uses include saw blades, bandsaw strip, coil springs, hand tools, razor blades, and agricultural cutting implements. The elevated carbon content provides the hardness and edge retention these applications require, distinguishing this product commercially from the low-carbon cold-rolled strip used in automotive body panels or appliance housings.
Lines 7211292030 and 7211292090 specifically address coil and non-coil forms for narrower widths, while 7211296030 and 7211296080 cover the 300–600mm width band. The physical form at importation — not the intended downstream processing — governs which line applies, so packing list documentation confirming coil or cut-to-length presentation is important for accurate entry.
