7225.19.00

Analysis

HTS 7225.19.00 covers of silicon electrical steel: other under heading 7225 (flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more).

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.

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.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 28% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 28% duty.

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.
