U.S. imports of flat-rolled high-strength iron or nonalloy steel, under 600mm wide, hot-rolled, universal mill plate (HS 721113) totaled $3K in June 2026, traded with 1 country.
Flat-Rolled High-Strength Iron or Nonalloy Steel, Under 600mm Wide, Hot-Rolled, Universal Mill Plate imports of $3K in June 2026 ran 13% above the year-to-date monthly average of $3K.
Universal mill plate — flat-rolled high-strength nonalloy steel produced on a universal rolling mill with both horizontal and vertical rolls, resulting in a product with closely controlled edge geometry — is a niche but structurally critical form used in heavy fabrication and bridge construction. Under 600mm wide and hot-rolled without any cladding or coating, it classifies under a single US tariff line, 7211130000. The United Kingdom and Germany are the leading suppliers, reflecting the concentration of universal mill plate production in established European steelmakers. Section 232 tariffs apply to this product.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Universal mill plate is produced on a mill equipped with both horizontal and vertical rolls, giving it rolled (rather than sheared or slit) edges and a specific width-to-thickness ratio. This production method is the key classification criterion; products with sheared or flame-cut edges, or produced on a conventional flat mill, would typically classify elsewhere in Chapter 72.
Universal mill plate requires specialized rolling equipment that is maintained by a relatively small number of integrated steelmakers. European producers — particularly in the UK and Germany — have historically invested in this capability to serve heavy structural and infrastructure markets, making them the dominant global suppliers.
