Annealed Cold-Rolled Steel Coil for Automotive Panels from Japan
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 Tips
• 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
