High-Strength Annealed Cold-Rolled Steel Coil for Automotive Chassis
This is a flat-rolled high-strength steel coil of iron or nonalloy steel, cold-rolled to a thickness between 1-3 mm and width over 600 mm, annealed for improved formability. It meets the high-strength steel definition (thickness 1-3 mm with minimum yield point of 275 MPa) and is not further worked beyond cold-rolling and annealing, classifying it under HTS 7209.16.0045. Primarily used in automotive structural components requiring strength and ductility.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness of 3 mm or more
High-strength steel definition changes for thicker products (min 355 MPa yield), moving to lower thickness category.
If further worked with surface treatment like coating
Chapter 72 defines 'further worked' to include coatings, shifting from not-further-worked heading 7209 to 7211.
If alloy steel rather than nonalloy
Nonalloy steel stays in Chapter 72 heading 7209; alloy steels transfer to Chapter 72 heading 7225.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify minimum yield strength of 275 MPa at entry with mill test reports to qualify as high-strength steel per US Chapter 72 notes
• Ensure no cladding, plating, or coatings beyond annealing; document cold-rolling process to avoid reclassification as further worked
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as no duty reduction allowed under Chapter 72 notes; inspect coils pre-entry
