HRPO Steel Coil for Automotive Stamping 2.8mm
Hot-rolled pickled and oiled (HRPO) steel coil of nonalloy steel, 2.8 mm thick, over 600 mm wide, in coil form without further working beyond basic hot-rolling process. Classifies under 7208.39.00.90 as 'other' hot-rolled nonalloy steel coils under 3 mm; pickling/oiling often considered not 'further worked' if minimal. Used in auto body panel production.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If meets high-strength steel definition
High-strength steel (per US Note 72(a): <3mm with ≥275 MPa yield) has specific subheading in 7208.18.
If cold-rolled after hot-rolling
Cold-rolling constitutes further working, moving product to Chapter 72 cold-rolled headings like 7210.
If width under 600 mm
Width threshold of 600 mm separates 7208 (wide) from 7210/7211 (narrower) flat-rolled products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm pickling/oiling doesn't qualify as 'further worked' per Chapter 72 note; may require CBP ruling if disputed
• Include surface treatment documentation; excessive oiling could trigger reclassification
• Check for high-strength steel specs (yield point >275 MPa) to avoid 7208.18 subheading
