U.S. imports of iron & nonalloy steel semifinished rectangular shapes (under 0.25% carbon) (SITC 67262) totaled $238.9M in July 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Importers of Iron & Nonalloy Steel Semifinished Rectangular Shapes (Under 0.25% Carbon) paid $80.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 38% on $209.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Iron & Nonalloy Steel Semifinished Rectangular Shapes (Under 0.25% Carbon) imports of $238.9M in July 2026 ran 50% above the year-to-date monthly average of $159.1M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRectangular cross-section semifinished products of iron or nonalloy steel with under 0.25% carbon — where the width exceeds twice the thickness, distinguishing slabs from square billets — are the primary rolling-mill feedstock for flat-rolled products such as hot-rolled coil and plate. The geometry criterion is the key classification boundary: a product that is rectangular but does not meet the width-to-thickness ratio falls under the square-section heading instead. Section 232 tariffs apply, and slab dimensions and carbon content must be certified by the producing mill.

Slabs have a rectangular cross section where the width is at least twice the thickness, making them the feedstock for flat-rolled products. Blooms and billets with a square or near-square cross section (width less than twice the thickness) fall under the square-section semifinished heading. Dimensional mill certificates are the authoritative reference.
Yes. In addition to standard commercial invoice and packing list requirements, steel slab imports typically require a mill certificate showing chemical composition (to confirm carbon content below 0.25% and absence of alloy additions above threshold levels) and, where applicable, a Section 232 product exclusion or quota documentation if the importer is relying on an exemption.
