Importers of Non-Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel, Flat-Rolled, Under 600 mm Wide paid $55K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 30.99% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Non-Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel, Flat-Rolled, Under 600 mm Wide imports of $216K in August 2026 ran 12% below the year-to-date monthly average of $246K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataNarrow non-grain-oriented (NGO) silicon electrical steel strip — under 600 mm wide — is a key input for small electric motors, fractional-horsepower generators, and the laminated cores of EV traction motors, where isotropic magnetic performance across all rolling directions is required. Three 10-digit lines (7226190000, 7226191000, and 7226199000) differentiate by width band and, for the narrowest strip, by thickness relative to 0.25 mm. Slovakia and Sweden lead US imports under this heading, with Austria, Canada, and Japan also supplying the market. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the growing demand for EV motor laminations has increased scrutiny of supply-chain concentration for this product.

The US schedule separates strip between 300 mm and 600 mm wide (7226191000) from strip under 300 mm wide (7226199000), with the narrowest band further split by the 0.25 mm thickness threshold. Importers must verify actual coil width against these breakpoints using certified dimensional data, as misclassification between lines can affect both duty liability and statistical reporting.
Concentration in a single European supplier country creates exposure to logistics disruptions, energy-cost volatility affecting steel production, and potential trade-remedy actions. Importers relying heavily on Slovak supply may wish to qualify alternative sources — such as Sweden or Austria, which also appear among the top suppliers — to maintain continuity, particularly as EV motor demand tightens global NGO steel availability.
