Angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel: other angles, shapes and sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded
Analysis
HTS 7216.50.00 covers angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel: other angles, shapes and sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded under heading 7216 (angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel).
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.
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.
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.
