U.S. imports of hot-worked iron or nonalloy steel u, i, and h sections less than 80 mm high (HS 721610) totaled $1.3M in July 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Hot-Worked Iron or Nonalloy Steel U, I, and H Sections Less Than 80 mm High paid $611K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $1.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Hot-Worked Iron or Nonalloy Steel U, I, and H Sections Less Than 80 mm High imports of $1.3M in July 2026 ran 48% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.5M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataSmall structural sections — U-channels, I-beams, and H-piles less than 80 mm in height — are standard components in light fabrication, racking systems, and secondary structural framing. The US schedule separates angles and U-sections (7216100010) from I and H sections (7216100050) within this heading. Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with Germany a notable European source. All entries are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and importers should confirm whether the section height measurement meets the sub-80 mm threshold, as sections at or above 80 mm classify under different headings.

Height for structural sections is measured as the overall external dimension perpendicular to the web — the distance between the outer faces of the flanges for I and H sections, or the outer depth of the channel for U sections. If this dimension is 80 mm or greater, the product classifies under a different heading (721621 or higher), so accurate mill drawings or certified dimensional data are essential.
Yes. Angles have two legs meeting at a corner, while U-sections (channels) have two parallel flanges connected by a web. Both are captured within 7216100010 for the sub-80 mm hot-worked nonalloy category, but if the product is a pure angle (L-section), it may instead classify under heading 721621. Reviewing the cross-sectional profile against Chapter 72 note definitions is recommended.
