U.S. imports of narrow flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel, clad (under 600 mm wide) (HS 721260) totaled $1.0M in April 2026, traded with 6 countries.
Importers of Narrow Flat-Rolled Iron or Nonalloy Steel, Clad (Under 600 mm Wide) paid $543K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 54% on $1.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataClad narrow strip — produced by metallurgically bonding dissimilar metals to iron or nonalloy steel through rolling, explosion welding, or similar processes — occupies a distinct classification from coated or plated strip because the bonded layer is integral rather than surface-applied. The single US tariff line 7212600000 covers all such products under 600 mm wide, and the heading is relatively low-volume compared to coated counterparts. Germany and Japan lead declared supply, consistent with the specialized rolling and bonding infrastructure required to produce bimetallic or trimetallic strip for electrical contacts, cookware, and precision mechanical components.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Cladding involves a metallurgical bond between two or more distinct metal layers achieved through co-rolling or explosion welding, resulting in a composite where the layers cannot be separated without destroying the product. Electroplating, hot-dip coating, or organic surface treatments do not create a clad product. The distinction is material to classification because clad strip falls under 721260 while surface-coated strip falls under 721220–721250 depending on the coating type.
Clad flat-rolled steel products are generally within the scope of Section 232 measures on steel imports. However, the specific applicability and any product exclusions should be confirmed with a licensed customs broker, as exclusion requests for specialty clad products have been filed and granted in some cases.
