Soft Annealed Steel Coil for Metal Furniture Frames
Nonalloy steel coil cold-rolled to 1.8 mm thickness, over 800 mm wide, box annealed for softness ideal for office chair and desk frame fabrication. HTS 7209.16.00.70 applies to this 'other' annealed cold-rolled coil product not further worked, meeting precise dimensional and processing specs. Annealing ensures excellent bending properties without cracking.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further worked than cold-rolled (e.g., polished)
Any polishing or burnishing constitutes 'further worked' per Chapter notes, shifting to 7209.25 regardless of annealing.
If imported as fabricated furniture components
Finished or semi-finished structures of iron/steel classify under Chapter 73 as fabricated metal products.
If semi-finished product thickness
Coils under 4.75 mm thick but not cold-rolled to final gauge fall under 7207 semi-finished products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Use precise gauge measurements certified by importer; thickness variances can trigger reclassification to adjacent subheadings
• Maintain chain of custody documentation from mill to entry to prove no post-annealing surface treatments occurred
• Beware rust discoloration; Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry rust on steel products
