Analysis
HTS 7211.29.20 covers of a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm under heading 7211 (flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm, not clad…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 7211.29.20.30 for of a width less than 51 mm, in coils and 7211.29.20.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
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.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
The other lines in the same group are 7211.29.45 (of a width of less than 300 mm: other, duty-free) and 7211.29.60 (other: other, duty-free).
