SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of iron and nonalloy steel angles, shapes, and sections, cold-formed or cold-finished (SITC 67684) totaled $9.5M in April 2026, traded with 22 countries.
Importers of Iron and Nonalloy Steel Angles, Shapes, and Sections, Cold-Formed or Cold-Finished paid $299K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $2.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 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.
