SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of iron and nonalloy steel angles, shapes, and sections n.e.s. (SITC 67685) totaled $35.0M in April 2026, traded with 27 countries.
Importers of Iron and Nonalloy Steel Angles, Shapes, and Sections N.E.S. paid $1.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.0% on $26.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAngles, shapes, and sections of iron and nonalloy steel that are not elsewhere specified and do not fall under the hot-rolled, cold-formed, or other specifically enumerated production-method headings represent a catch-all for residual processing routes such as forging or other non-standard methods. Correct placement here requires exhausting all other applicable headings, making it a classification of last resort that demands careful review of both profile geometry and manufacturing process. These products serve diverse industrial fabrication markets and, as steel mill products, are subject to Section 232 tariffs. Importers encountering unusual processing methods should document the production route thoroughly to defend classification.

Sections produced by forging, casting followed by machining, or other non-standard methods that are neither hot-rolled/hot-drawn/extruded nor cold-formed/cold-finished may fall here. The key is that the production method does not match any of the specifically enumerated processes in the adjacent headings.
Yes, and it is a common compliance issue. The three N.E.S. headings for nonalloy steel sections are differentiated solely by production method. Importers should obtain explicit production-method documentation from the mill and, for high-value or recurring shipments, consider a binding ruling to eliminate classification uncertainty.
