U.S. imports of cold-formed iron & non-alloy steel bars and rods, high carbon (≥0.6% carbon) (SITC 67633) totaled $2.4M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Importers of Cold-Formed Iron & Non-Alloy Steel Bars and Rods, High Carbon (≥0.6% Carbon) paid $845K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 40% on $2.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataSection 232 tariffs apply broadly to steel mill products, and cold-formed or cold-finished iron and non-alloy steel bars and rods with carbon content at or above 0.6% by weight fall squarely within that framework. The elevated carbon level distinguishes these products from lower-carbon structural bar stock, making them suitable for spring steel, wear-resistant tooling, and similar demanding applications where hardness and tensile strength are priorities. Importers should confirm carbon content certification from the mill, as the 0.6% threshold is a classification boundary that determines which SITC line applies.

Classification at or above 0.6% carbon by weight is established by the mill test certificate (MTC) accompanying the shipment. Customs authorities may request the MTC to verify the carbon content and confirm the correct SITC or HTS heading applies, so importers should ensure documentation is complete before entry.
Cold-forming or cold-finishing imparts tighter dimensional tolerances, improved surface finish, and higher yield strength compared to hot-rolled bar. These characteristics make cold-formed high-carbon bars preferred for precision machined components, whereas hot-rolled equivalents are classified under a separate SITC line (67643).
