Notes for this line
- Section 232 Steel tariff adds 50%.
- Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (A-570-910) adds 701.47% (AD 85.55% + CVD 615.92%) for Circular Welded Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe.
- AD/CVD applies by written product scope, not by HTS code — the HTS numbers in a Commerce order are listed for convenience only. Finished goods assembled from covered inputs are often excluded, and rates are exporter-specific, so the figure above is a worst-case ceiling. Confirm your scope and your supplier's cash-deposit rate with your customs broker before relying on it.
- Section 301 forced labor does not apply to this line: Exempt: article is already subject to Section 232 duties (9903.05.90, U.S. note 52).
