U.S. imports of hot-worked iron or nonalloy steel i-sections (standard beams), 80 mm or more high (HS 721632) totaled $22.8M in April 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Importers of Hot-Worked Iron or Nonalloy Steel I-Sections (Standard Beams), 80 mm or More High paid $10.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 46% on $22.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Hot-Worked Iron or Nonalloy Steel I-Sections (Standard Beams), 80 mm or More High imports of $22.8M in April 2026 ran 90% above the year-to-date monthly average of $12.0M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataStandard I-beams of iron or nonalloy steel, hot-worked to a height of 80 mm or more, classify under a single 10-digit line (7216320000) and are subject to Section 232 steel tariffs. These parallel-flange or tapered-flange I-sections serve as primary structural members in building construction, bridges, and industrial frameworks. The United Kingdom and Luxembourg are the leading US import sources, with Luxembourg's prominence reflecting the output of major European integrated steel producers. Importers should distinguish standard I-beams (this heading) from wide-flange H-sections (721633), as the flange geometry and weight-per-unit-length determine the correct classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Standard I-beams (721632) have tapered inner flange faces and a relatively narrow flange width compared to the web height, following traditional 'S-beam' or European IPE profiles. Wide-flange H-sections (721633) have parallel inner and outer flange faces with a flange width approaching or equaling the web height. The manufacturer's mill certificate specifying the section designation (e.g., S-shape vs. W-shape or HP-shape) is the most reliable classification guide.
Luxembourg is home to one of Europe's largest integrated steel producers with significant structural section output, while the United Kingdom has historically maintained specialty rolling mills for standard beam profiles. Both countries supply sections to US construction and industrial projects, particularly for specifications that align with European standard profiles not always produced domestically.
