Analysis
HTS 7206.90.00 covers iron and nonalloy steel in ingots or other primary forms (excluding iron of heading 7203): other under heading 7206 (iron and nonalloy steel in ingots or other primary forms (excluding iron of heading 7203)).
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
The other line in the same group is 7206.10.00 (iron and nonalloy steel in ingots or other primary forms…, duty-free).
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 20% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 20% duty.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 331110 (Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing), an industry of 359 US establishments employing 78,532 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
