Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the thickness is 0.5 mm or more
Thicker cold-rolled coils are classified in the adjacent subheading.
If the coil is cut and formed into a specific chassis component
Once fabricated into a part, it falls under Section XVII for vehicle parts.
If the width is less than 600 mm
Products under 600 mm wide are excluded from heading 72.09.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the steel is not clad, plated or coated, and that it is presented in coils
• Provide documentation on yield strength to confirm the high-strength designation
• Be aware that if the steel is cut to length or further processed, it may no longer qualify for this tariff item
