Last updated: August 2026 dataIron and nonalloy steel ingots (HTS 7206100000) represent the earliest solidified primary form of steel, cast before any rolling or forging, and serve as the starting stock for downstream remelting, forging, and rolling operations. Section 232 tariffs apply to this product, making origin and cost modeling essential for steel service centers and foundries that rely on ingot supply. France leads US imports under this heading — an unusual sourcing pattern that reflects specialty steel and remelting capacity — with Canada and the United Kingdom also supplying the market.

An ingot is cast directly from molten metal into a mold and has not been worked by rolling or forging; it typically has a tapered or irregular shape. Blooms, billets, and slabs are semifinished products that have been hot-worked and classify under HTS heading 7207. If a product has been hot-rolled even minimally, it generally moves out of 7206 and into 7207.
Beyond Section 232 tariffs, importers should verify whether antidumping or countervailing duty orders cover ingots from the specific country of origin, as AD/CVD orders on steel products can be origin-specific. A licensed customs broker can help confirm the current order scope and whether a scope ruling is needed for atypical ingot shapes or compositions.
