Overview

This HTS category, 7216, encompasses angles, shapes, and sections that are manufactured from iron or nonalloy steel. These are typically products of rolling, drawing, or extrusion processes that result in specific cross-sectional profiles, such as L-beams, I-beams, U-channels, and T-bars. The defining characteristic is their distinct geometric shape, intended for use in construction, engineering, and manufacturing applications where structural integrity and specific dimensional properties are required.

As a category within Chapter 72, which broadly covers iron and steel, HTS 7216 focuses specifically on semi-finished or finished forms that are not flat-rolled products (like plates, sheets, or strips) and are not wire. The sibling categories at this high level represent entirely different classes of goods, such as live animals (Chapters 01), mineral products (Chapters 25-27), or other base metal articles. Therefore, the distinction lies in the material (iron or nonalloy steel) and the product form (specific structural profiles).

The subcategories within 7216 further refine classification based on the specific profile (U, I, H, L, or T sections), the method of shaping (hot-rolled, hot-drawn, extruded, or cold-formed/finished), and dimensional criteria like height. This granular breakdown allows for precise classification based on manufacturing process and physical dimensions, which are crucial for determining applicable duties and trade statistics. The "Other" categories capture shapes and sections not specifically listed in the preceding subheadings.
