HTS tariff line · chapter 72
7216.22.00
L or T sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, of a height of less than 80 mm: t sections
Analysis
HTS 7216.22.00 covers l or T sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, of a height of less than 80 mm: t sections under heading 7216 (angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel).
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.
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.
All 11 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 2% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 2% duty.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
