If cold-rolled or finished

Cold-finished shapes receive separate classification to differentiate processing methods affecting tariff treatment.

7306.40Lower: 50% vs 75%

If made into hollow structural sections

Hollow profiles like tubes or pipes from these sections shift to Chapter 73 headings for tubular products.

7219.21.00Same rate: 75%

If of common iron or non-alloy steel

Stainless steel requirement for Chapter 72 heading 7222; non-stainless equivalents go to 7219.
