Cold-Formed C-Purlin with Punched Holes
A cold-formed C-shaped structural section made from flat-rolled nonalloy steel, featuring pre-punched holes for bolt connections in roofing systems. Classified under HTS 7216.91.0010 due to being cold-finished from flat-rolled products and punched for construction assembly. Used primarily in metal building frameworks.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically drilled, notched, punched or cambered
Cold-formed sections without those specific operations fall under the residual 'other' subheading.
If assembled into finished structures or fabricated assemblies
Fabricated steel structures combining multiple sections move to Chapter 73 headings for assemblies.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-formed
Hot-rolled angles/shapes are classified in 7216.21, while cold-formed from flat-rolled goes to 7216.91.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying nonalloy steel composition and cold-forming process to avoid misclassification as hot-rolled
• Include engineering drawings showing punched hole specifications to confirm 'punched' status under HTS 7216.91.0010
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on steel; obtain exclusions if applicable for structural building components
