HTS tariff line · chapter 72
7215.10.00
Of free-cutting steel, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished
Analysis
HTS 7215.10.00 covers of free-cutting steel, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished under heading 7215 (other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 7215.10.00.10 for containing by weight 0.1 percent or more of lead and 7215.10.00.80 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.
The other lines in the same group are 7215.50.00 (other bars and rods of iron or nonalloy steel: other, not…, duty-free), 7215.90.10 (plated or coated with metal: not cold-formed, duty-free), 7215.90.30 (plated or coated with metal: cold-formed, duty-free) and 7215.90.50 (other: other, 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 is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
