Importers of Hollow Drill Steel Bars and Rods (Alloy and Nonalloy) paid $382K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 48% on $791K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHollow drill steel bars and rods are purpose-engineered for percussive and rotary drilling applications in mining, quarrying, and construction, where the hollow bore channels flushing fluid or air to the drill bit. Both alloy and nonalloy grades fall under this heading, with alloy variants typically offering superior hardness and fatigue resistance for demanding rock-drilling environments. Section 232 tariffs apply broadly to steel mill products, making origin and product classification critical cost factors for importers sourcing these specialized bars. Correct classification hinges on distinguishing hollow drill steel from other hollow bars, as the specific geometry and end-use design drive the applicable tariff line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Hollow drill steel is specifically designed for percussive or rotary drilling, characterized by a star-shaped or cruciform cross-section bore and high-strength steel composition. General hollow bars intended for machining or structural use classify elsewhere; the drilling-specific geometry and metallurgical specification are the key classification criteria.
Yes, as steel mill products, hollow drill steel bars and rods are generally subject to Section 232 tariffs. Importers should verify whether any country-specific exclusions or quota arrangements apply to their specific source country, as these provisions change periodically.
