A flat-rolled nonalloy steel plate with embossed checkered patterns in relief, hot-rolled to a thickness of 12 mm and width over 600 mm, supplied not in coils. It falls under HTS 7208.40.3030 because it is not further worked beyond hot-rolling, has patterns in relief, and exceeds 10 mm thickness. Commonly used for flooring in industrial trucks and walkways.

Import Tips
• Verify carbon content stays below 0.6% to confirm nonalloy steel classification; provide mill test certificate
• Measure thickness precisely as exceeding 10 mm is critical; patterns must be formed during hot-rolling process
• Avoid entries with any cladding, plating, or post-hot-roll treatments to prevent reclassification
