We import virtually no steel at all from China.

U.S. Steel Imports

China is the 11th largest source for our imported steel, behind Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, India, and Germany. We import very little from them, less than 1 percent of our total imports.

That story shows how idiotic targeted tariffs can be. Under U.S. law and trade rules, that bridge wasn't constructed with "Chinese steel" at all. It was constructed with Chinese-made manufactured structural elements that just happened to be made out of steel. Those bridge sections would not be subject to the steel tariff.
