Analysis
HTS 7205.29.00 covers powders: other under heading 7205 (granules and powders, of pig iron, spiegeleisen, iron or steel).
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other lines in the same group are 7205.10.00 (granules and powders, of pig iron, spiegeleisen, iron or…, duty-free) and 7205.21.00 (powders: of alloy steel, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 331221 (Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing), an industry of 244 US establishments employing 14,143 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
