SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of iron and nonalloy steel angles, shapes, and sections n.e.s., hot-rolled (SITC 67683) totaled $4.4M in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Iron and Nonalloy Steel Angles, Shapes, and Sections N.E.S., Hot-Rolled paid $1.9M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $3.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded angles, shapes, and sections of iron and nonalloy steel that do not fit the standard U, I, H, L, or T profiles fall into this residual 'not elsewhere specified' heading, capturing specialty and custom structural profiles. The N.E.S. designation means classification here requires ruling out all named profile categories first, making it a common subject of customs classification disputes for non-standard cross-sections. These products serve niche fabrication, agricultural equipment, and specialty construction markets where standard profiles are unsuitable. Section 232 tariffs apply, and importers of unusual profiles should consider seeking a binding ruling to lock in classification before large-volume shipments.

A section is N.E.S. when its cross-sectional profile does not match any of the specifically named shapes (U, I, H, L, T) in the tariff schedule. Importers dealing with custom or proprietary profiles should obtain a binding ruling from CBP, as misclassification into a named-profile heading or vice versa can trigger duty underpayment or overpayment.
Both matter. This heading is limited to sections produced by hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion. Cold-formed or cold-finished sections of nonalloy steel — even with identical cross-sectional profiles — classify under a separate heading. The production method should be confirmed on the mill certificate.
