HTS tariff line · chapter 72
7216.33.00
U, I or H sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, of a height of 80 mm or more: h sections
Analysis
HTS 7216.33.00 covers u, I or H sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, of a height of 80 mm or more: h sections under heading 7216 (angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 3 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
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.
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.
The ten-digit suffixes separate weighing not more than 11.3 kg per 30.5… and weighing more than 11.3 kg but not more…. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
