Last updated: August 2026 dataT-sections in nonalloy steel — characterized by a web and a single perpendicular flange forming a T-profile — are used in machine bases, conveyor frames, and architectural metalwork. The single US tariff line 7216220000 covers all hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or hot-extruded nonalloy T-sections under 80 mm in height. Germany leads supply, with Turkey and Italy also significant sources, reflecting European specialty-section rolling capacity. Section 232 tariffs apply to all entries, and importers should be prepared to provide mill certifications confirming both the cross-sectional profile and the height dimension to avoid misclassification with I-sections or other profiles.

A T-section has one flange and one web, forming a T-shape, whereas I and H sections have two flanges connected by a web. This geometric distinction is defined in Chapter 72 notes and determines whether the product classifies under 721622 (T-sections) or 721610 (U, I, H sections). Mill drawings showing the cross-sectional profile are the standard supporting document.
For T-sections, height refers to the overall external dimension measured along the web — from the base of the flange to the tip of the web. Flange width is a separate dimension and does not determine heading eligibility. Sections where the web height reaches or exceeds 80 mm would fall outside this heading and require classification under the appropriate larger-section provision.
