Hot-Rolled ASTM A36 Steel Coil 12mm Thick from Japan
A flat-rolled coil of nonalloy steel meeting ASTM A36 specifications, with thickness of 12 mm and width over 600 mm, produced via hot-rolling without cladding, plating, or coating. It falls under HTS 7208.36.0060 as 'other' hot-rolled coils exceeding 10 mm thickness, not further worked beyond hot-rolling. Commonly used for structural beams and plates in construction.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition via mill test certificate to confirm nonalloy steel status (max 0.25% carbon equivalent)
• Ensure accurate thickness and width measurements; coils under 10mm shift to 7208.31-7208.33 subheadings
• No duty allowance for rust/discoloration per Chapter 72 notes; inspect condition at entry
