7216.32.00.00Same rate: 35%

If U, C, L or T sections specifically

Certain named profiles like C or L-sections have dedicated statistical suffixes under 7216.32 within cold-formed nonalloy steel.

7301.20Lower: 10% vs 35%

If for concrete reinforcing bars with deformations

If twisted or deformed for rebar use, classified as concrete reinforcing per chapter note (c), not shapes.

7213.91.30Same rate: 35%

If circular hollow sections rather than open profiles

Cold-formed tubes/pipes from flat-rolled steel are in 7213, separate from open angles/shapes.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Include chemical composition analysis confirming nonalloy status; alloy content over threshold moves to different subheading

• Measure thickness and width to ensure compliance with flat-rolled origin; reject entries with clad or coated surfaces
