U.S. exports of Cold-Formed Alloy Steel Bars and Rods (Excluding High-Speed and Silico-Manganese Steel) (SITC 67639) totaled $21.5M in August 2026.
Importers of Cold-Formed Alloy Steel Bars and Rods (Excluding High-Speed and Silico-Manganese Steel) paid $3.8M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 47.10% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Cold-Formed Alloy Steel Bars and Rods (Excluding High-Speed and Silico-Manganese Steel) imports of $8.2M in August 2026 ran 11% below the year-to-date monthly average of $9.2M.
Last updated: August 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.

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.
