Last updated: April 2026 dataTowers and lattice masts of iron or steel encompass transmission line towers, telecommunications masts, and — critically — tubular wind turbine towers, which have their own dedicated 10-digit line (7308200035) reflecting the sector's trade significance. Denmark and Germany lead US imports under this heading, consistent with their dominant roles in wind energy equipment manufacturing. Wind turbine towers have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty investigations, making origin verification and scope rulings a recurring compliance issue for energy developers. Section 232 tariffs also apply to these steel structures, compounding the duty exposure for large-scale renewable energy procurements.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Utility-scale wind towers have been the subject of antidumping and countervailing duty orders covering certain countries of origin. Importers should check the current scope of any active orders with CBP or the International Trade Commission before sourcing, as scope rulings can affect whether a specific tower design and origin combination is covered.
Tubular towers are hollow cylindrical or conical steel sections stacked to form a self-supporting column, as used in wind turbines and some telecom applications. Lattice masts are open-frame structures assembled from angle, bar, or tube members. The US schedule provides separate lines for tubular towers (including wind turbine towers) and a residual line for other towers and lattice masts, so the structural form of the article determines the correct 10-digit code.
