Cold-Rolled Nonalloy Steel Coil for Automotive Panels
Flat-rolled nonalloy steel coil, cold-rolled to a thickness of 1.5 mm and width over 600 mm, used for manufacturing car body panels. It falls under HTS 7209.16.00.91 as cold-rolled, not further worked, in coils, thickness between 1-3 mm, and not meeting high-strength steel criteria. This classification applies to standard nonalloy steel products without alloying elements exceeding defined thresholds.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If polished, coated, or otherwise further worked
Chapter notes define 'further worked' surface treatments (e.g., polishing, coating) as moving products out of 7209 to 7211.
If thickness of 1 mm or less
Thickness is the key subheading criterion; products ≤1 mm fall under 7209.15.
If not in coils (e.g., straight lengths or sheets)
Coils are specifically distinguished from non-coil forms in 7210 for cold-rolled products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact thickness (1-3 mm) and width (>600 mm) measurements with certified calipers to confirm HTS 7209.16.00.91 classification
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy composition (carbon steel without specified alloy elements) to avoid reclassification as alloy steel
• Check for any 'further worked' surface treatments like polishing; if present, it shifts to 7211, increasing duties
