Annealed CR Steel Coil for Home Appliance Housings from Japan
Cold-rolled nonalloy steel coil measuring 2.0 mm thick and 1,200 mm wide, annealed for enhanced ductility used in refrigerator and washer exteriors. Classified under HTS 7209.16.00.70 for its cold-rolled, annealed state in coils, thickness 1-3 mm, without cladding or coating. The annealing process relieves internal stresses from cold reduction.

Import Tips
• Include annealing furnace logs and hardness test results (typically Rockwell B 60-75) to substantiate classification
• Declare surface condition accurately; minor pickling before annealing doesn't constitute 'further worked' but document to avoid disputes
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on steel; obtain licenses if applicable for nonalloy imports
