Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 7209.18.25
Cold-Rolled Blackplate Steel Coil for Can Manufacturing
Thin cold-rolled blackplate steel coil, under 0.361 mm thick and 600 mm or wider, used primarily for fabricating metal food and beverage cans. Classified under HTS 7209.18.25 as flat-rolled nonalloy steel, cold-reduced in coils, not further worked beyond cold-rolling, and specifically as blackplate due to its matte finish and thickness. Meets chapter definitions excluding alloy steels, cladding, plating, or coatings.
Blackplate Cold-Rolled Steel Coil for Aerosol Cans
Cold-rolled nonalloy steel blackplate in coils, thickness below 0.361 mm, width over 600 mm, ideal for aerosol can bodies. Falls under HTS 7209.18.25 as uncoated, unclad cold-reduced flat-rolled product not further worked, distinguished by blackplate thinness from thicker cold-rolled steel. Excludes high-strength or alloy compositions per U.S. notes.
MR Type Blackplate Steel Coil for General Tinplate Base
Medium Rockwell (MR) grade cold-rolled blackplate steel coils under 0.361 mm thick, 600+ mm wide, serving as base stock for tinplate production. HTS 7209.18.25 applies to this not-further-worked, unclad cold-reduced nonalloy flat-rolled product specifically categorized as blackplate. Used in packaging industries pre-coating.
Cold-Reduced Blackplate Coil for Beverage Can Ends
Ultra-thin blackplate cold-rolled steel in coils, <0.361 mm x ≥600 mm, optimized for easy-open beverage can lids and ends. Precisely matches HTS 7209.18.25 criteria: nonalloy, cold-reduced flat-rolled in coils, no cladding/coating/further working, blackplate subclass. Key material for high-speed stamping.
T1-T5 Temper Blackplate Steel Coil for Food Cans
T1 to T5 temper cold-rolled blackplate coils, thickness <0.361 mm and width ≥600 mm, for three-piece welded food cans. HTS 7209.18.25 covers this nonalloy steel flat-rolled product as cold-reduced in coils without further working, specifically blackplate gauge. Temper affects formability for canning.
DR-8 Blackplate Cold-Rolled Coil for Paint Cans
DR-8 (double reduced) blackplate steel coil, cold-rolled to <0.361 mm thickness, ≥600 mm wide, suited for paint and chemical can stock. Classifies in HTS 7209.18.25 as nonalloy flat-rolled cold-reduced product in coils, blackplate spec, no further treatments. Double reduction enhances strength for rigid packaging.
Blackplate Steel Coil for General Line Cans
Standard cold-rolled blackplate coil <0.361 mm thick, 600-1250 mm wide, for sanitary food cans and general line packaging. HTS 7209.18.25 designation for uncoated cold-reduced nonalloy steel flat-rolled in coils, blackplate subcategory without further working. Versatile base for welded or soldered cans.
Cold-Rolled Blackplate for Fancy Can Production
High-quality cold-rolled blackplate coils under 0.361 mm for decorative 'fancy' cans like gift tins pre-coating. Fits HTS 7209.18.25 as ≥600 mm wide nonalloy steel, cold-reduced in coils, no plating/cladding/further work, blackplate thickness. Provides smooth base for lithography.
L Blackplate Coil for Lithium Battery Housings
L-grade (low carbon) cold-rolled blackplate steel coil <0.361 mm thick, ≥600 mm wide, for battery cans in electronics. HTS 7209.18.25 for this nonalloy cold-reduced flat-rolled product in coils, blackplate, excluding further treatments or alloys. Low impurities aid deep drawing.
Blackplate Cold-Rolled Steel for Closure Stock
Thin blackplate coil <0.361 mm x ≥600 mm, cold-rolled nonalloy steel for twist-off closures and lids. Precisely HTS 7209.18.25: flat-rolled cold-reduced in coils, not further worked, blackplate subclass by thickness. High formability for sealing applications.
