U.S. imports of cold-formed alloy steel bars and rods (excluding high-speed and silico-manganese steel) (SITC 67639) totaled $10.2M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Importers of Cold-Formed Alloy Steel Bars and Rods (Excluding High-Speed and Silico-Manganese Steel) paid $4.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 49% on $9.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Cold-Formed Alloy Steel Bars and Rods (Excluding High-Speed and Silico-Manganese Steel) imports of $10.2M in April 2026 ran 11% above the year-to-date monthly average of $9.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAlloy steel bars and rods that have been cold-formed or cold-finished — but are neither high-speed steel nor silico-manganese steel — serve as critical feedstock for automotive drivetrain components, hydraulic cylinder rods, and precision shafting. Section 232 measures cover these products, and importers sourcing from countries without a Section 232 exemption or quota arrangement face additional duty exposure. The explicit exclusion of high-speed and silico-manganese grades is a classification boundary that requires mill chemistry documentation to substantiate.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
High-speed steel and silico-manganese steel have distinct alloying profiles and end-use markets that warrant their own SITC classifications (67641 and 67642, respectively). The exclusion ensures that specialty tool steels and spring steels are tracked separately from general-purpose alloy bar, which matters for trade statistics and for applying the correct duty treatment.
A mill test certificate showing the full chemical composition is essential, as it confirms the alloy elements present and their percentages. This document supports both the SITC/HTS classification and any Section 232 exclusion petition or quota monitoring requirement. Country-of-melt and country-of-manufacture declarations may also be required depending on the origin.
