Nonalloy Steel Slabs Rectangular Profile from Mexico

Hot-rolled rectangular steel slabs under 0.25% carbon, primarily for rolling into plates or sheets in steel mills. These semifinished products feature rectangular cross-sections distinguishing them from square billets. HTS 7207.12.00 covers this low-carbon, nonalloy steel in semifinished form.

Import Tips

Submit dimensional specs confirming rectangular cross-section > square to distinguish from 7207.11.00

Include continuous casting or hot-rolling process documentation proving semifinished status

Avoid misdeclaration as universal mill plate (note b); slabs typically lack four-face rolling
