7209.16.00.45/High-Strength Annealed Cold-Rolled Steel Coil for Automotive Chassis/China

High-Strength Annealed Cold-Rolled Steel Coil for Automotive Chassis from China

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.

Import Tips

• 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
