U.S. imports of cold-rolled flat iron or nonalloy steel, 600mm+ wide, not in coils, 3mm or more thick (HS 720925) totaled $41K in June 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Cold-Rolled Flat Iron or Nonalloy Steel, 600mm+ Wide, Not in Coils, 3mm or More Thick imports of $41K in June 2026 ran 53% above the year-to-date monthly average of $27K.
Cut-to-length cold-rolled plate at 3 mm or greater is a specialty product combining the dimensional precision of cold-rolling with the structural weight of heavier-gauge steel, used in precision machinery bases, tooling fixtures, and certain defense applications. The single US tariff line 7209250000 covers this category. Germany leads supply, followed by Canada, China, Mexico, and Belgium — a supplier mix that spans USMCA partners and countries subject to Section 232 measures, requiring careful origin-specific duty analysis at entry.

The critical distinction is the final rolling method: cold-rolled product has been reduced below recrystallization temperature, yielding tighter thickness tolerances and a smoother surface, while hot-rolled product is processed above that temperature. CBP may request mill process records or test certificates confirming cold-reduction to distinguish the two, particularly at heavier gauges where the visual difference is less obvious.
Product-specific exclusion requests must be filed with the Department of Commerce and, if approved, the exclusion number must be cited on the entry. For German-origin material, importers should also confirm whether any EU-US Section 232 arrangement affects the applicable rate. A licensed customs broker can advise on current exclusion availability and the required entry documentation.
