Importers of Iron & Nonalloy Steel in Primary Forms Other Than Ingots paid $96K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 25% on $380K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Iron & Nonalloy Steel in Primary Forms Other Than Ingots imports of $380K in April 2026 ran 20% above the year-to-date monthly average of $317K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBeyond the ingot, iron (under 99.94% purity) and nonalloy steel can be cast or solidified into a range of other primary forms — including blooms, billets, slabs, and continuously cast shapes — each suited to a different downstream rolling or forging route. Section 232 tariffs apply broadly to these steel primary forms, and importers must distinguish the specific shape to ensure correct SITC and HTS classification. Carbon content documentation from the producing mill is critical, as it determines whether the material falls under nonalloy or alloy steel headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Primary forms (blooms, billets, slabs from initial casting) are distinguished from semifinished products by the stage of processing: primary forms emerge directly from solidification of molten metal, while semifinished products have typically undergone at least one rolling or reduction pass. The boundary can be fact-intensive, so mill process documentation and cross-referencing with HTS chapter notes is advisable.
Continuously cast strands that have not been rolled are generally treated as primary forms, but once they are cut to length and have defined cross-sectional dimensions consistent with semifinished product specifications, classification may shift. Consulting a licensed customs broker with the mill's process records is recommended when the distinction is unclear.
