7209
Flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated
Analysis
Heading 7209 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated. It divides into 9 six-digit subheadings and 11 eight-digit tariff lines, with 22 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 11 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 7209.18 (of a thickness of less than 0.5 mm, 3 lines), 7209.15 (unnamed, 1 line), 7209.16 (unnamed, 1 line) and 7209.17 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (331110). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 46th percentile of the headings in chapter 72.
