Importers of Alloy Steel (Non-Stainless) Ingots & Other Primary Forms paid $267K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 42% on $635K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Alloy Steel (Non-Stainless) Ingots & Other Primary Forms imports of $808K in April 2026 ran 16% below the year-to-date monthly average of $964K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataIngots, blooms, billets, and other primary forms of non-stainless alloy steel — including tool steel and high-nickel alloy grades — represent the upstream feedstock stage before rolling or forging into finished mill products. The United Kingdom and Japan lead US supply under this heading, with Sweden and Canada also significant, reflecting the concentration of specialty alloy steel melting capacity in established industrial economies. The US schedule separates high-nickel alloy steel (7224100005), tool steel (7224100045), and other alloy steel primary forms (7224100075), with Section 232 tariffs applicable across the heading.

Tool steel is a recognized category of high-carbon, high-alloy steel specifically formulated for cutting, forming, and die applications, characterized by high hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance. The US schedule provides a dedicated line (7224100045) for tool steel ingots and primary forms. Classification as tool steel should be supported by the mill's grade designation (e.g., D2, H13, M2) and chemical composition certificate confirming it meets recognized tool steel specifications.
Primary forms (heading 722410) include ingots and continuously cast products in their as-cast or as-poured state. Once the material has been hot-worked — rolled, forged, or otherwise reduced — into blooms, billets, or slabs with defined cross-sectional geometry, it typically classifies as a semifinished product under heading 722490. The distinction matters because the two headings carry separate tariff lines and may have different trade-remedy exposure.
