Rectangular Steel Ingot Low Carbon

Cast rectangular ingot of nonalloy steel under 0.25% carbon, with narrow width-to-thickness ratio less than 4:1, used as feedstock for extrusion or forging. HTS 7207.12.0010 applies to this non-square, non-slab geometry in semifinished form. Minimal working beyond casting keeps it semifinished.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7206.10.00.00Same rate: 35%

If not fully semifinished from ingot

Incompletely worked ingots go to heading 7206 before full semifinished status.

7214.91.00Same rate: 35%

If forged into bars

Forged or finished into bars shifts to heading 7214 for concrete reinforcing or other bars.

7207Same rate: 35%

If containing 0.6% or more manganese

High manganese content may qualify as alloy steel under Chapter 72 notes.
