Advanced High-Strength DP980 Steel Coil
Hot-rolled flat-rolled steel coil of nonalloy steel, width over 600 mm and thickness under 3 mm, classified as high-strength steel with minimum yield point of 695 MPa for DP980 dual-phase grade. Falls under HTS 7208.39.0020 as 'advanced' high-strength steel per statistical note 4, in coils not further worked than hot-rolled. Used primarily in automotive structural components requiring superior formability and strength.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If standard high-strength steel not meeting 'advanced' criteria
Standard high-strength steel (<3mm thick) falls under 7208.37.0030; 'advanced/ultra' per note 4 requires superior properties.
If cold-rolled instead of hot-rolled
Cold-rolled high-strength steel shifts to chapter 72 cold-rolled provisions like 7211.23 for similar specs.
If coated with metallic or nonmetallic layer
Any coating (zinc, paint, etc.) moves product to pickled/coated categories under 7208.51+ per chapter notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify minimum yield strength ≥695 MPa with mill test reports to qualify as high-strength steel under US note (a)
• Verify statistical note 4 compliance for 'advanced' designation via producer documentation to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no cladding, plating or coating; inspect for further working like polishing which shifts to 7208.51+
