Last updated: August 2026 dataAngles, shapes, and sections of iron or nonalloy steel that are hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or hot-extruded and do not fall under more specific headings are classified here under a single 10-digit line (7216500000).

Heading 721640 is reserved specifically for L and T sections that are 80 mm or more in height. Heading 721650 captures all other hot-worked angles, shapes, and sections of iron or nonalloy steel that do not meet those dimensional or profile criteria — it is the residual 'NESOI' category for hot-worked structural profiles.
European integrated mills have long produced a wide range of specialty structural profiles — including bulb flats, unequal angles, and custom extrusions — that are less commonly rolled by North American producers. This gives German and Turkish mills a competitive niche for non-standard hot-worked sections imported into the US market.
