Last updated: April 2026 dataCovering semifinished iron and nonalloy steel forms not elsewhere specified — those with under 0.25% carbon that do not fit the square or rectangular cross-section definitions — this residual heading captures round, oval, or irregular-section billets and other intermediate shapes used in specialty rolling and forging operations. The 'not elsewhere specified' scope means classification here is reached by exclusion, requiring importers to confirm that the product's cross-sectional geometry and carbon content rule out the more specific square and rectangular headings. Section 232 tariffs apply across all nonalloy steel semifinished forms.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Round, oval, hexagonal, and other non-rectangular cross-section billets of low-carbon nonalloy steel that have not been further rolled into finished bar or rod are the most common products here. The key is that the shape does not meet the square (width less than twice thickness) or rectangular (width at least twice thickness) definitions that govern the two more specific headings.
The importer should obtain detailed dimensional drawings and a mill certificate, then work with a licensed customs broker to apply the cross-section definitions in the HTS chapter notes sequentially — ruling out square, then rectangular, before defaulting to the NES heading. A binding ruling request to CBP can provide certainty for recurring shipments of unusual shapes.
