Last updated: April 2026 dataRound billets and other non-rectangular, non-square semifinished forms with less than 0.25% carbon occupy this heading, with circular cross-sections (7207190030) being the commercially dominant form — the standard feedstock for seamless pipe and tube mills and for bar rolling. The US schedule also retains a residual line (7207190090) for other non-rectangular profiles. Brazil and India lead US supply, reflecting large-scale electric arc furnace and integrated steelmaking capacity in both countries. Section 232 tariffs apply to all lines.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A round billet classified under 7207.19 is a semifinished product — it has been hot-worked from an ingot but not yet rolled to final dimensions or surface finish. A round bar (heading 7214 or 7215) has been further rolled or drawn to a finished or semi-finished commercial product. The key classification test is whether the product requires further hot-working before it reaches its intended end-use form.
Yes. AD/CVD orders on steel products from India have been issued across multiple product categories, and scope language sometimes references cross-section geometry and carbon content thresholds that overlap with 7207.19. Importers sourcing round billets from India should review current order scopes and consider requesting a scope ruling from the Department of Commerce if the product's specifications are near any definitional boundary.
