Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. exports of Alloy Steel (NES) Bars and Rods, NES (Hot-Rolled, Hot-Drawn, or Hot-Extruded) (SITC 67629) totaled $46.8M in August 2026.
Importers of Alloy Steel (NES) Bars and Rods, NES (Hot-Rolled, Hot-Drawn, or Hot-Extruded) paid $8.7M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 46.39% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAlloy steel bars and rods not elsewhere specified — excluding high-speed and silico-manganese grades — cover a broad range of engineering steels (chromium, nickel-chromium, chromium-molybdenum, etc.) used in automotive drivetrain components, industrial machinery, and structural applications requiring enhanced strength or hardenability. The NES designation means classification here is by exclusion: if the product is not high-speed steel, silico-manganese steel, stainless, or free-cutting, it lands in this heading. Section 232 tariffs apply, and several alloy bar grades have been subject to antidumping investigations, so composition documentation is critical for both classification and trade-remedy compliance.

The mill test report's chemical composition must be checked against the tariff schedule definitions for high-speed steel, silico-manganese steel, stainless steel, and free-cutting steel. If the product does not meet any of those specific alloy definitions, it defaults to this NES heading. A customs broker familiar with steel tariff schedule notes should review the MTR before filing.
Yes. Chrome-moly grades such as 4130 and 4140 are among the most commercially significant products in this category, widely used in pressure vessels, oil country tubular goods components, and automotive parts. These grades have been the subject of antidumping proceedings from certain origins, so importers should verify current order status before contracting.
