U.S. imports of stainless steel angles, shapes, and sections (SITC 67687) totaled $4.5M in April 2026, traded with 23 countries.
Importers of Stainless Steel Angles, Shapes, and Sections paid $2.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 47% on $4.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataStainless steel structural profiles — angles, channels, and custom sections — command a significant price premium over carbon steel equivalents and are selected for their corrosion resistance in chemical processing, food-grade equipment, marine, and architectural applications. The chromium content threshold (generally 10.5% or more by mass) is the metallurgical boundary that separates stainless from other alloy steels for classification purposes, and importers must substantiate this with mill chemistry certifications. These products are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and certain stainless steel products from specific origins have also been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings. Buyers sourcing stainless sections should audit both trade-remedy exposure and Section 232 applicability for their specific country of origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Under the Harmonized System, stainless steel is defined as steel containing by weight 1.2% or less of carbon and 10.5% or more of chromium, with or without other elements. Mill test reports must confirm the heat chemistry meets this definition; sections falling short of the chromium threshold classify as alloy steel N.E.S. rather than stainless.
Potentially yes. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have been applied to stainless steel products from certain countries. Importers should search the Commerce Department's ADD/CVD order database using the specific product description and country of origin, as both Section 232 and trade-remedy duties may apply simultaneously.
