U.S. imports of hot-worked iron or nonalloy steel l-sections less than 80 mm high (HS 721621) totaled $2.3M in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Importers of Hot-Worked Iron or Nonalloy Steel L-Sections Less Than 80 mm High paid $998K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 43% on $2.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataL-sections (equal and unequal leg angles) less than 80 mm in height are among the most versatile structural profiles, used in brackets, frames, shelving, and light construction. The single US tariff line 7216210000 covers all hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or hot-extruded nonalloy steel L-sections in this size range. Mexico is the leading supplier, followed by Turkey and Vietnam — a supply mix that reflects both USMCA-integrated North American production and lower-cost export-oriented mills. Section 232 tariffs apply, and importers sourcing from Turkey or Vietnam should monitor any active antidumping proceedings covering structural steel angles.

The 80 mm height threshold is the dividing line: L-sections with a leg height below 80 mm fall under 721621, while those at 80 mm or above move to heading 721631 (equal leg angles) or 721632 (unequal leg angles) for hot-worked nonalloy steel. Leg length should be confirmed from certified mill dimensions before filing.
Yes — at the HS6 level, 721621 covers all L-sections (both equal and unequal leg) under 80 mm. The single US 10-digit line 7216210000 does not further subdivide by leg equality, so both types enter under the same tariff line provided the height threshold is met.
