Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. exports of Alloy Steel (N.E.S.) Flat-Rolled Products (N.E.S.), Under 600 mm Wide (SITC 67574) totaled $5.5M in August 2026.
Importers of Alloy Steel (N.E.S.) Flat-Rolled Products (N.E.S.), Under 600 mm Wide paid $1.3M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 41.38% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataNarrow alloy steel flat-rolled products that are N.E.S. in both alloy composition and processing form — under 600 mm wide — occupy a specialized corner of the steel trade, covering slit or purpose-rolled strip with non-standard alloy content and surface or structural modifications beyond standard rolling. End uses include specialty wear-resistant strip for conveyor systems, clad bimetallic strip for electrical contacts, and niche industrial applications requiring tailored mechanical properties. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the combination of non-standard alloy chemistry and non-standard processing makes this one of the more documentation-intensive steel classifications to defend at entry.

Importers should retain the mill test report confirming alloy chemistry, a detailed description of any post-rolling processing steps (coating, cladding, embossing), the as-shipped width measurement, and any internal classification analysis or CBP ruling. These records support both the N.E.S. alloy designation and the N.E.S. processing form designation if CBP questions the entry.
Clad or bimetallic strip products may fall here if the base metal qualifies as N.E.S. alloy steel and the cladding process places them outside the standard hot-rolled or cold-rolled definitions. However, classification of clad products can be complex — the relative thickness and nature of the cladding layer matter — so a binding ruling from CBP is advisable for recurring imports of these specialty products.
