SITCSection 6
U.S. exports of alloy steel (except stainless) ingots & other primary forms (SITC 67249) totaled $5.3M in July 2026.
Importers of Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Ingots & Other Primary Forms paid $55K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 37% on $150K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Ingots & Other Primary Forms imports of $1.0M in July 2026 ran 12% above the year-to-date monthly average of $904K.
Last updated: July 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.
