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.

7208Same rate: 35%

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.

7210.41.00.00Same rate: 35%

If cold-rolled after hot-rolling

Cold-rolling constitutes further working, moving product to Chapter 72 cold-rolled headings like 7210.

7208.90.00.00Same rate: 35%

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
