HRPO Steel Coil Mill Edge 2.2mm from Mexico
Hot-rolled pickled and oiled (HRPO) nonalloy steel coil with untrimmed edges, 2.2 mm thick and over 600 mm wide, supplied in coil form. Although pickled, it remains classified under hot-rolled not further worked per Chapter 72 notes, as pickling doesn't constitute 'further working.' The untrimmed mill edges distinguish it under HTS 7208.39.0030 for applications in automotive panels.

Import Tips
• Obtain supplier certification that pickling/oiling doesn't alter the hot-rolled classification per US notes
• Measure coil width precisely (>600mm) and document untrimmed edges to prevent downgauging to narrower strip codes
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as Chapter notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry surface issues
