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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled into billets
Once hot-rolled to rectangular cross-section over 3.5mm thick, moves from primary ingot form to semi-finished products of heading 7207.
If ferroalloys present exceeding nonalloy limits
Products with intentional alloying elements shift to Chapter 72 alloy steel headings like 7224+ or ferroalloys in 7202.
If pig iron rather than steel
Pig iron ingots with higher carbon content (>2%) fall under heading 7203, distinct from low-carbon steel ingots.

Import Tips & Compliance
• 1
• Provide mill test certificates verifying nonalloy steel composition (max 0.25% alloy elements). 2
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from scrap or heading 7203 pig iron. 3
• Inspect for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
