Analysis
HTS 7216.91.00 covers cold-formed or cold-finished from flat-rolled products under heading 7216 (angles, shapes and sections of iron or nonalloy steel). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
For statistics it divides in two: 7216.91.00.10 for drilled, notched, punched or cambered and 7216.91.00.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
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.
