U.S. imports of hot-rolled flat iron or nonalloy steel, 600mm+ wide, not coiled, 3mm to under 4.75mm thick (HS 720853) totaled $1.2M in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Importers of Hot-Rolled Flat Iron or Nonalloy Steel, 600mm+ Wide, Not Coiled, 3mm to Under 4.75mm Thick paid $605K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $1.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSubject to Section 232 tariffs, this gauge of hot-rolled band steel — 3 mm up to but not including 4.75 mm thick — is a workhorse input for structural fabrication, agricultural equipment, and heavy-gauge stamping operations. The single US tariff line 7208530000 covers the full range without further subdivision. Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with Malaysia, Colombia, and Sweden also contributing meaningful volumes, making origin documentation and Section 232 quota or exclusion status a routine compliance checkpoint for importers.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — thickness is the primary classification boundary within HTS Chapter 72 for hot-rolled flat products. Material at exactly 3 mm falls within 720853, while material at 4.75 mm or above moves to a different subheading. Importers should verify mill certificates against the declared thickness to avoid misclassification at the port.
For countries without a negotiated Section 232 arrangement, importers must either pay the applicable tariff or present an approved product exclusion at entry. Canada and Mexico have separate arrangements under USMCA-related steel agreements, so their documentation requirements differ from third-country suppliers such as Malaysia or Colombia. Consult a licensed customs broker for current exclusion and quota status.
