U.S. imports of welded angles, shapes, and sections of iron or steel (HS 730120) totaled $1.5M in June 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Welded Angles, Shapes, and Sections of Iron or Steel paid $316K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 28% on $1.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: June 2026 dataFabricated by welding together flat plates or other steel elements rather than rolling from a single billet, welded structural sections can achieve larger dimensions and custom geometries not practical in hot-rolling mills, making them common in heavy construction, shipbuilding, and industrial framing. The US schedule splits this heading between non-alloy steel (7301201000) and alloy steel (7301205000), a distinction that affects both duty treatment and potential Section 232 exposure. Canada leads US imports, consistent with its integrated role in North American construction supply chains, with China and India also significant sources.

Welded sections under heading 7301 are manufactured by joining flat steel elements by welding, whereas hot-rolled sections under heading 7216 are produced in a single rolling pass. The production method is the controlling classification criterion — not the final shape. This distinction matters because the two headings carry different duty rates and may have different Section 232 or antidumping order applicability.
A mill test report or material certificate specifying the chemical composition of the steel is the primary document. Under the HTS, alloy steel is defined by specific thresholds for alloying elements (e.g., chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium); if any element meets or exceeds its threshold, the steel is classified as alloy. Importers should retain the mill certificate with the entry documentation to support the line selected.
