U.S. imports of grain-oriented silicon electrical steel, flat-rolled, 600 mm or more wide (HS 722511) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Importers of Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel, Flat-Rolled, 600 mm or More Wide paid $842K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 49% on $1.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel, Flat-Rolled, 600 mm or More Wide imports of $1.7M in April 2026 ran 16% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.0M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGrain-oriented silicon electrical steel (GOES) is a specialty magnetic alloy engineered for transformer cores, where its precisely controlled crystal structure minimizes energy loss. All flat-rolled GOES 600 mm or wider enters under a single 10-digit line, 7225110000, and the product is subject to Section 232 tariffs on steel imports. Japan and South Korea are the dominant suppliers to the US market, with Brazil and European producers such as Czech Republic and Poland rounding out the source base. Importers should confirm mill certifications for magnetic permeability and core-loss grades, as these specifications directly affect transformer efficiency ratings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Grain-oriented grades (HTS 722511) have a controlled crystalline structure that aligns magnetic domains in the rolling direction, making them suitable for transformer cores. Non-grain-oriented grades (HTS 722519) have isotropic magnetic properties and are used in rotating machinery such as motors and generators. The distinction is material to classification and must be supported by mill test reports.
Yes, flat-rolled silicon electrical steel is a steel article subject to Section 232 tariffs. Importers should verify whether any product-specific exclusions have been granted, as the exclusion process is product- and country-specific and exclusions can expire or be revoked.
