HS Code 7207.19 – Iron or non-alloy steel; semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel, containing by weight less than 0.25% of carbon, other than rectangular or square cross-section
HS code 7207.19 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or non-alloy steel, semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel, containing by weight less than 0.25% of carbon, other than rectangular or square cross-section. It is used for round billets, hexagonal blooms, octagonal sections, wire rod blanks and forging preforms.
What HS 7207.19 covers
This category covers semi-finished products of non-alloy steel with low carbon content (less than 0.25%), specifically those with cross-sections other than rectangular or square. This includes shapes like round, hexagonal, or octagonal billets and blooms. These specialized forms are crucial for manufacturing specific long products, seamless pipes, or for use in forging applications where a non-standard initial shape is required. They are traded by specialized steel producers to industries requiring precision components, such as automotive, machinery, and energy sectors. The global trade in these products is often driven by demand for high-quality, custom-shaped steel intermediates, with advanced industrial nations playing a significant role in both production and consumption.

Top exporters and importers of HS code 720719, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 720719 in UN Comtrade data was Oman, with 23% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Egypt, with 31% of world imports. Russia did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 24% of its exports here ($156M, CEPII BACI), so it may rank higher.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
