Nonalloy Steel Blooms for Heavy Sections
Square cross-section steel blooms (<0.25% carbon) with width-to-thickness ratio <2:1, used for forging heavy structural sections like crane hooks. HTS 7207.11.00.00 covers these compact rectangular semifinished products before hot-rolling into beams. Produced via continuous casting for structural steel applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloy steel composition
Containing alloying elements per Chapter 72 definitions, moves to alloy semifinished
If forged into bars
Further processing beyond semifinished into forged products
If supplied as ingots
Ingots not considered semifinished products under HTS definitions
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right HTS code — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide continuous casting process documentation to distinguish from ingots (excluded from semifinished classification)
• Confirm square/rectangular dimensions; non-rectangular shapes fall outside 7207
• Avoid rust discoloration claims; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
