Steel wool and scouring pads made of iron or steel are generally considered steel-derivative articles and may be subject to Section 232 tariffs. The precise applicability depends on the specific HTS classification at the 10-digit level; importers should confirm with a licensed customs broker before entry.
The key distinction is physical form: loose or bundled steel fiber (wool) versus fabricated pads, gloves, or similar shaped articles. Both fall under this SITC heading, but the HTS subheading at the 10-digit level may differ, affecting duty treatment and statistical reporting.
