Standard International Trade Classification
U.S. imports of Iron and Nonalloy Steel Angles, Shapes, and Sections, Cold-Formed or Cold-Finished (SITC 67684) totaled $14.0M in August 2026, imported from 26 countries.
Importers of Iron and Nonalloy Steel Angles, Shapes, and Sections, Cold-Formed or Cold-Finished paid $548K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 3.91% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Iron and Nonalloy Steel Angles, Shapes, and Sections, Cold-Formed or Cold-Finished imports of $14.0M in August 2026 ran 28% above the year-to-date monthly average of $10.9M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCold-forming and cold-finishing impart tighter dimensional tolerances and improved surface finish to iron and nonalloy steel angles, shapes, and sections compared with hot-rolled equivalents, making these products preferred inputs for precision fabrication, light-gauge framing, and automotive component manufacturing. The production method — cold-forming or cold-finishing — is the primary classification criterion separating this heading from hot-rolled structural sections of otherwise identical profile. Section 232 tariffs apply to these steel mill products, and the cold-finishing premium embedded in their price can affect customs valuation assessments. Trade professionals should ensure that mill documentation explicitly identifies the cold-forming or cold-finishing process to support classification.

CBP relies on mill test reports and production records that document the manufacturing process. Cold-formed sections typically exhibit tighter tolerances, work-hardened surfaces, and may show residual stress characteristics. If documentation is ambiguous, laboratory analysis of surface condition and mechanical properties can be used to support classification.
Both hot-rolled and cold-finished steel sections are steel mill products subject to Section 232 tariffs. The tariff treatment is not differentiated by production method under Section 232, though the applicable HTS subheading — and therefore any product-specific exclusions — will differ between hot-rolled and cold-finished versions.
