Importers of Iron & Non-Alloy Steel Free-Cutting Steel Bars and Rods, NES (Hot-Rolled, etc.) paid $1.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $2.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Iron & Non-Alloy Steel Free-Cutting Steel Bars and Rods, NES (Hot-Rolled, etc.) imports of $2.7M in April 2026 ran 20% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFree-cutting non-alloy steel bars and rods — not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or equivalent — that do not fall into the coil or deformed-bar categories are classified here, covering straight bar stock used extensively in automatic screw machine production of fasteners, fittings, and precision turned parts. The added sulfur or lead content that defines free-cutting grades must be confirmed by mill certification, as misclassification into a standard carbon bar heading can expose importers to incorrect duty treatment or antidumping order scope issues. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the relatively niche demand profile means supply is concentrated among a smaller number of specialty mills.

SITC 67612 covers free-cutting steel in irregularly wound coils — an intermediate form requiring straightening before use. This heading (67622) covers straight bar and other non-coil forms that are ready for direct loading into screw machines or lathes, reducing downstream processing steps and handling costs.
The mill test report must explicitly state the sulfur content (typically 0.10–0.35%) or the presence of other machinability-enhancing elements such as lead or bismuth, along with the heat number and chemical composition. Without this documentation, CBP may reclassify the product as standard carbon bar, potentially altering the applicable duty rate or antidumping order exposure.
