U.S. exports of Clad Iron & Nonalloy Steel Flat-Rolled Products (N.E.S.), Under 600mm Wide (SITC 67452) totaled $4.3M in August 2026.
Importers of Clad Iron & Nonalloy Steel Flat-Rolled Products (N.E.S.), Under 600mm Wide paid $619K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 45.75% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Clad Iron & Nonalloy Steel Flat-Rolled Products (N.E.S.), Under 600mm Wide imports of $1.4M in August 2026 ran 23% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataBimetallic or multi-layer clad nonalloy steel strip narrower than 600 mm — where the cladding method or material is not captured by a named heading — occupies this residual SITC category. Cladding bonds a dissimilar metal layer to the steel substrate through rolling, explosive bonding, or diffusion, producing composite strip used in electrical contacts, coinage blanks, and precision mechanical components. Because cladding is a distinct manufacturing process from plating or coating, importers must ensure that mill documentation clearly describes the bonding method to support the classification and distinguish the product from surface-coated alternatives.

Cladding involves metallurgically bonding a layer of a different metal to the steel substrate — typically through co-rolling, explosive bonding, or diffusion welding — creating an integral composite. Plating or coating, by contrast, applies a surface layer without full metallurgical bonding. The distinction affects classification: clad products fall under the cladding headings, while surface-coated products fall under the plating/coating headings. Mill certificates describing the bonding process are the key supporting document.
Narrow clad steel strip is used in electrical contact materials, precision springs, coinage blanks, and specialty mechanical components where a combination of steel's structural properties and another metal's conductivity, corrosion resistance, or appearance is required. Electronics, automotive, and coinage manufacturing are the primary downstream sectors.
