Last updated: August 2026 dataClassified under 7209900000, this residual 'not elsewhere specified or included' category captures cold-rolled, uncoated flat iron or nonalloy steel sheet and strip at least 600 mm wide that does not fit the more specific thickness-defined subheadings in heading 7209. All flat-rolled steel imports are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and the NESOI designation means classification disputes can arise when a product's specification sits at the boundary of adjacent subheadings. Canada leads supply, with Turkey and Germany also significant sources.

The NESOI (not elsewhere specified or included) subheading 7209900000 captures cold-rolled, uncoated flat products that do not meet the precise thickness thresholds defined in the other 7209 subheadings. Importers should confirm exact measured thickness against the full schedule before defaulting to the NESOI line, as misclassification can affect duty liability.
Section 232 product exclusions have historically been available on a product-specific basis through the Department of Commerce process, but exclusion availability and status change over time. Importers should check current exclusion registers and consult a licensed customs broker to determine whether an active exclusion applies to their specific product specification.
