U.S. exports of hot-rolled flat steel, not in coils, over 10 mm thick (non-alloy, 600 mm+ wide) (HS 720851) totaled $46.4M in July 2026.
Importers of Hot-Rolled Flat Steel, Not in Coils, Over 10 mm Thick (Non-Alloy, 600 mm+ Wide) paid $4.8M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $9.6M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Hot-Rolled Flat Steel, Not in Coils, Over 10 mm Thick (Non-Alloy, 600 mm+ Wide) imports of $10.0M in July 2026 ran 32% below the year-to-date monthly average of $14.7M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCut-to-length hot-rolled non-alloy steel plate exceeding 10 mm in thickness is a primary structural material for shipbuilding, bridge construction, pressure vessels, and heavy machinery. Unlike coil-form product, these plates are supplied in discrete lengths and are often ordered to specification for project-based fabrication. South Korea leads US imports under this heading, with Canada, Malaysia, Brazil, and Australia also among the top suppliers. The four US lines distinguish universal mill plate (7208510030), high-strength grades (7208510045), alloy/non-alloy variants (7208510050), and other non-coil flat-rolled products (7208510060), with Section 232 tariffs applying across the board.

264 shipments/mo
Universal mill plate is rolled on a mill with both horizontal and vertical rolls, producing a product with rolled edges rather than flame-cut or sheared edges. This results in tighter width tolerances and a distinct edge profile. The designation is relevant for structural applications where edge quality affects fit-up in welded assemblies, and it has its own 10-digit line because the production method and dimensional characteristics differ from conventionally rolled plate.
Section 232 tariffs apply to steel imports from most countries, but the specific treatment for any given origin can be modified by proclamation, quota agreement, or exclusion. Importers should verify the current Section 232 status for Malaysia and Australia with CBP or a licensed customs broker at the time of entry, as country-specific arrangements have changed over time and may affect the applicable duty rate.
