Cold-Formed Sigma Profile from Japan
Sigma-shaped cold-formed section from nonalloy steel flat-rolled products, used in solar panel racking systems. Falls under HTS 7216.91.00.90 as other cold-formed shapes, not further worked. The unique sigma geometry provides enhanced load distribution.

Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing profile shape to confirm 'other shapes' status
• Test for alloy elements if steel appears unusually strong to avoid 7228 misclassification
• Declare exact forming temperature records to distinguish from hot-rolled processes
