U.S. imports of Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Semifinished Products (SITC 67282) totaled $189.0M in August 2026, imported from 16 countries.
Importers of Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Semifinished Products paid $39.0M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 20.62% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Alloy Steel (Except Stainless) Semifinished Products imports of $189.0M in August 2026 ran 43% above the year-to-date monthly average of $132.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataAlloy steel semifinished products — excluding stainless — encompass a broad range of intermediate forms in grades such as chromium-molybdenum, nickel-chromium, manganese-boron, and high-speed steel, used as rolling and forging feedstock for the automotive, energy, and tooling sectors. The alloy designation is established by chemical composition thresholds in the HTS chapter notes, and the specific grade drives both the classification and the downstream mechanical-property specifications that buyers require. Section 232 tariffs apply, and antidumping or countervailing duty orders on alloy steel from particular origins may add to the duty burden, making supplier-origin documentation critical.

The distinction is made by comparing the certified chemical composition against the alloy element thresholds in the HTS chapter notes — for example, chromium above 0.30%, nickel above 0.30%, or molybdenum above 0.08% (among others). If any single alloying element exceeds its threshold, the product is classified as alloy steel. Mill heat certifications with full elemental analysis are the required supporting document.
Yes. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders sometimes explicitly include or exclude alloy steel products, and the scope language can turn on whether the product meets the alloy definition or is a specific grade such as tool steel or high-speed steel. Importers should review the scope of any applicable order carefully, as a product that appears to be alloy steel by composition may be excluded from a carbon-steel order's scope — or vice versa — depending on the order's specific language.
