Products classified under HTS 7206.10.00.00
Low-Carbon Steel Ingots
Cylindrical or polygonal ingots of low-carbon (<0.25%) nonalloy steel for forging or rolling applications. Classified as primary ingots under HTS 7206.10.00.00.
Forging Quality Steel Ingots
High-quality nonalloy steel ingots with controlled inclusions for open-die forging into shafts and rings. HTS 7206.10.00.00 for these unwrought primary forms.
Continuous Cast Steel Ingots
Longitudinally cut sections from continuous casting strands, forming ingot-like billets of nonalloy steel. Primary form classification under 7206.10.00.00 prior to rolling.
Rimming Steel Ingots
Nonalloy steel ingots produced by rimming process with gas evolution for ductility in sheet applications. HTS 7206.10.00.00 as primary unwrought ingots.
Killed Steel Ingots
Fully deoxidized nonalloy steel ingots using aluminum/silicon for uniform properties in heavy sections. Classified under primary ingot heading 7206.10.00.00.
Semi-Killed Steel Ingots
Partially deoxidized nonalloy steel ingots balancing cost and properties for plate production. HTS 7206.10.00.00 for these primary forms.
Rail Steel Ingots
Nonalloy steel ingots with controlled manganese for railway rail production via blooming. Primary form under 7206.10.00.00.
Steel Billet Ingots
Rectangular steel ingots, typically 100-150mm square cross-section, produced by continuous casting from molten nonalloy steel for further hot rolling into bars or shapes. Classified under HTS 7206.10.00.00 as primary form ingots of iron and nonalloy steel, excluding those of heading 7203. These are semi-finished products not yet rolled or forged.
Carbon Steel Bloom Ingots
Large square or rectangular nonalloy steel ingots (150-250mm cross-section) cast for rolling into structural shapes like I-beams. HTS 7206.10.00.00 covers these primary ingot forms of iron/nonalloy steel before any working.
Nonalloy Steel Slab Ingots
Semi-rectangular thick ingots (200-300mm thick) of nonalloy steel, primarily for hot-rolling into plate or sheet. Falls under 7206.10.00.00 as ingots in primary form.
