7216.21.00.00Same rate: 35%

If height of 80 mm or more

U sections with height 80 mm or greater shift to HTS 7216.21, still hot-rolled nonalloy steel but different size category.

7211.14.00Same rate: 35%

If supplied in coils

Hot-rolled flat-rolled products in coils, even if intended for U sections, classify under Chapter 72 heading 7211 before forming.

7308.90.95Same rate: 35%

If fabricated into welded structures

Once further worked by welding into frames or assemblies, moves to Chapter 73 as fabricated steel structures.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact dimensions and cross-section match U profile per HTS notes; ensure certification as nonalloy steel (max 0.25% alloy elements)

Obtain mill test reports for chemical composition; watch for rust/discoloration as no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
