U.S. exports of Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Ingots & Other Primary Forms (SITC 67249) totaled $3.3M in August 2026.
Importers of Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Ingots & Other Primary Forms paid $7K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 0.25% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Ingots & Other Primary Forms imports of $2.7M in August 2026 ran 139% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAlloy steels other than stainless — including tool steels, high-speed steels, and structural alloy grades containing elements such as manganese, silicon, nickel, chromium, or molybdenum above threshold levels — are classified here when in ingot or other primary form. These materials are critical feedstocks for the aerospace, automotive, and heavy-equipment sectors, where precise alloy chemistry drives mechanical performance. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the specific alloy designation (e.g., AISI/SAE grade) must be documented to support both classification and downstream quality assurance.

The distinction turns on whether alloying elements exceed the threshold concentrations defined in HTS chapter notes — for example, manganese above 1.65%, silicon above 0.60%, or chromium above 0.30% (below the stainless threshold). Mill certifications with full chemical composition are the primary evidence used at entry.
AISI/SAE grades are useful reference points but do not automatically determine customs classification. The actual chemical composition reported on the mill certificate governs, and a licensed customs broker should verify that the reported alloy content maps correctly to the applicable HTS and SITC heading, particularly for borderline grades.
