U.S. imports of hot-rolled flat steel, not in coils, 4.75 mm to 10 mm thick (non-alloy, 600 mm+ wide) (HS 720852) totaled $1.1M in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Importers of Hot-Rolled Flat Steel, Not in Coils, 4.75 mm to 10 mm Thick (Non-Alloy, 600 mm+ Wide) paid $518K in duties in April 2026 β an effective duty rate of 50% on $1.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCut-to-length hot-rolled non-alloy steel in the 4.75β10 mm thickness range, not clad, plated, or coated, is widely used in structural fabrication, agricultural equipment, and general industrial plate applications where coil form is impractical. This heading has a single US 10-digit line (7208520000), simplifying classification relative to adjacent headings, though Section 232 tariffs and potential antidumping orders still require origin-specific duty analysis. South Korea and Canada are the leading suppliers, with Brazil, Australia, and Malaysia also among the top sources β a mix that spans multiple trade-remedy exposure profiles.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page β verify before relying on it.
Yes. Even with a single 10-digit line, classification disputes can arise at the heading level β for example, whether the product is truly 'not in coils' (cut-to-length plate versus a coil that was simply uncoiled for shipment), whether it meets the 600 mm width threshold, or whether the thickness falls within the 4.75β10 mm band rather than an adjacent range. Accurate measurement documentation from the mill is essential to defend the classification.
Cut-to-length plate is supplied in discrete dimensions suited for direct fabrication without further slitting or leveling, which reduces processing steps for project-based buyers. Coil form under 720837 offers cost advantages for high-volume stamping or roll-forming operations that have in-house processing equipment. The choice affects not only logistics and handling but also the applicable HTS classification, since the coil/non-coil distinction is a primary classification criterion within Chapter 72.
