Last updated: April 2026 dataA residual catch-all for iron and non-alloy steel bars and rods not captured by more specific SITC lines, this category covers products that have been worked beyond simple hot-rolling or cold-forming — such as those that are plated, coated, or otherwise processed — as well as forms that do not fit neatly into the defined processing categories. Correct classification here requires ruling out all the more specific non-alloy steel bar headings first, making it a classification of last resort that customs brokers should approach with care. Section 232 tariffs apply to steel mill products generally, and this heading is no exception.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Importers and brokers must first confirm the product does not qualify under the specific headings for cold-formed high-carbon bar (67633), hot-rolled non-alloy bar (67643), or other defined categories. Only after ruling out each more specific classification — based on carbon content, processing method, and product form — should this NES heading be used.
Potentially, yes. If a non-alloy steel bar has received a surface treatment (such as zinc coating or painting) that takes it outside the scope of the more specific processing-defined headings, this residual NES line may be appropriate. However, heavily processed or coated steel products sometimes migrate to entirely different SITC chapters, so a detailed classification review is advisable.
