U.S. imports of other semifinished stainless steel products (HS 721899) totaled $6.7M in July 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Importers of Other Semifinished Stainless Steel Products paid $2.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 35% on $6.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Other Semifinished Stainless Steel Products imports of $6.7M in July 2026 ran 34% below the year-to-date monthly average of $10.1M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataNon-rectangular semifinished stainless steel — square, circular, and other cross-sections — serves as the starting stock for long-product rolling mills producing bar, rod, and structural shapes. The US schedule breaks this residual category into square cross-sections (lines 7218990015 and 7218990030), circular cross-sections (7218990045 and 7218990060), and a catch-all NESOI line (7218990090), with the 232 cm² area threshold recurring as the key dimensional split. Mexico leads supply under this heading, with Sweden and the United Kingdom also prominent — a supplier mix that reflects both integrated European specialty steel producers and North American supply-chain proximity.

The 232 cm² breakpoint is a US-schedule statistical subdivision that separates smaller-section billets (used for lighter bar and rod rolling) from larger-section blooms (used for heavier structural or forging applications). It does not affect the base duty rate but is required for accurate HTS reporting and is used in trade-flow monitoring under Section 232 steel measures.
Shapes that do not fit the square, rectangular, or circular cross-section lines fall under the NESOI provision at 7218990090. Importers should document the actual cross-sectional geometry and confirm with a licensed customs broker that no other specific line better describes the product before using the residual classification.
