High-Strength Cold-Rolled Annealed Steel Coil for Automotive Panels

Flat-rolled high-strength steel coil, cold-rolled to 0.7 mm thickness and 800 mm width, annealed for improved formability. Classified under HTS 7209.17.00.45 as nonalloy high-strength steel (yield point ≥275 MPa for <3 mm thickness), in coils, not further worked beyond cold-rolling and annealing. Used primarily for outer body panels in vehicles requiring strength and ductility.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7209.16.00Same rate: 35%

If thickness under 0.5 mm

Thinner cold-rolled high-strength steel coils fall under the subheading for gauges below 0.5 mm.

7211.23Lower: 10% vs 35%

If width under 600 mm

Narrower coils (under 600 mm width) are classified in heading 7211 for cold-rolled products of narrower dimension.

7226.91.70.00Same rate: 35%

If alloy steel composition

Products meeting alloy steel definitions (e.g., specific chromium content) shift to Chapter 72 alloy steel headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify minimum yield strength of 275 MPa at entry with mill test reports to qualify as high-strength steel per US notes

Ensure precise thickness measurement (0.5-1 mm) and annealing documentation to prevent reclassification to thinner gauges

Verify no cladding, plating, or coatings; even minor surface treatments trigger 'further worked' exclusion
