Annealed Cold-Rolled Steel Coil for Automotive Panels
This is a flat-rolled nonalloy steel coil, cold-rolled to a thickness of 1.5 mm and width over 600 mm, specifically annealed to achieve uniform microstructure and improved formability. It falls under HTS 7209.16.00.70 as it matches the criteria for cold-rolled, not further worked, annealed steel in coils exceeding 1 mm but under 3 mm thickness. Annealing softens the steel for deep drawing in car body panel manufacturing.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness of 1 mm or less
Thinner cold-rolled coils shift to the subheading for thickness not exceeding 1 mm, maintaining same width and processing criteria.
If further worked with phosphate coating
Chapter 72 defines 'further worked' to include chemical treatments like phosphatizing, moving it from 7209 to Chapter 72 universal mill plate headings.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-rolled
Hot-rolled products of similar dimensions fall under heading 7208 before cold-rolling, based on primary rolling process.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy composition, exact thickness (1-3mm), and annealing process to avoid misclassification
• Ensure proper coil weight declaration and packaging details to prevent damage claims denial due to pre-entry rust per Chapter 72 notes
• Verify cold-rolling reduction ratio documentation as proof it's not further worked beyond cold-rolled and annealed
