U.S. imports of semifinished iron or nonalloy steel — low carbon, square/rectangular cross-section, width less than twice thickness (HS 720711) totaled $1.4M in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Importers of Semifinished Iron or Nonalloy Steel — Low Carbon, Square/Rectangular Cross-Section, Width Less Than Twice Thickness paid $689K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $1.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Semifinished Iron or Nonalloy Steel — Low Carbon, Square/Rectangular Cross-Section, Width Less Than Twice Thickness imports of $1.4M in April 2026 ran 84% above the year-to-date monthly average of $749K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBillets and blooms with a square or near-square cross-section (width less than twice the thickness) and less than 0.25% carbon by weight are the primary feedstock for long-product rolling mills producing rebar, wire rod, and structural sections. The single US tariff line (7207110000) covers this geometry, and Section 232 tariffs apply. Mexico and Canada are the leading suppliers, a pattern consistent with integrated North American steel supply chains, with Japan and India also contributing.

This geometric threshold separates square and near-square billets (7207.11) from flat or slab-like semifinished products (7207.12). A billet with a 150 mm × 150 mm cross-section clearly falls under 7207.11; a product with a 300 mm × 100 mm cross-section, where width equals three times the thickness, would move to 7207.12. Importers should obtain dimensional certifications from the mill to support classification.
Potentially yes. AD/CVD orders on steel semifinished products have been issued against specific countries at various times, and their scope can overlap with 7207.11. Importers should check the current USITC and Commerce Department order lists for the specific country of origin, as AD/CVD duties are assessed separately from and in addition to Section 232 tariffs.
