High-Strength Cold-Rolled Steel Coil for Automotive Panels
Flat-rolled high-strength steel coil, cold-rolled to a thickness under 0.5 mm and width over 600 mm, used for outer body panels in vehicles. Classified under HTS 7209.18.15.60 as high-strength steel (minimum yield point 355 MPa for thickness >=3mm or 275 MPa for thinner), not further worked beyond cold-rolling, in coils. Meets Chapter 72 definitions for nonalloy high-strength steel products.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness of 0.5 mm or more
Thinner high-strength steel (<0.5 mm) stays in 7209.18 but thicker shifts to 7209.16 subheading for cold-rolled high-strength steel coils.
If plated or coated after cold-rolling
Products 'further worked' with metal/nonmetal coatings (e.g., zinc plating) move to Chapter 72 heading 7210 per 'further worked' definition.
If alloy steel composition
High-strength steel with alloying elements exceeding nonalloy limits falls under Chapter 72 alloy steel headings like 7225.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify high-strength steel specs at entry (yield point 275 MPa min for <3mm thickness) per US Note 72(a) to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates showing nonalloy composition and cold-rolling process; no further working like coating allowed
• Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter note; inspect coils upon arrival
