There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72 that are also free. 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 7207.12.00 (containing by weight less than 0.25 percent of carbon…, duty-free), 7207.19.00 (containing by weight less than 0.25 percent of carbon: other, duty-free) and 7207.20.00 (containing by weight 0.25 percent or more of carbon, 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, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
