HTS tariff line · chapter 72
7208.10.15
In coils, not further worked than hot-rolled, with patterns in relief: pickled
Analysis
HTS 7208.10.15 covers in coils, not further worked than hot-rolled, with patterns in relief: pickled under heading 7208 (flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled…).
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 lines in the same group are 7208.10.30 (of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more, duty-free) and 7208.10.60 (of a thickness of less than 4.75 mm, duty-free).
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.
All 2 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
