Products classified under HTS 7209.18.25.20
Annealed Cold-Rolled Blackplate Coil for Food Packaging
Ultra-thin annealed blackplate steel coils (<0.361 mm thick, >600 mm wide) optimized for food-grade packaging like sardine and beverage cans. Annealing restores ductility lost during cold-rolling, enabling complex forming without cracking. Classified in HTS 7209.18.25.20 as not further worked beyond cold-rolling and annealing.
MR Type Annealed Blackplate Steel Coil
Matte finish (MR grade) annealed blackplate coils, cold-rolled to <0.361 mm thickness and >600 mm width, for general line tinplate production. The annealing eliminates cold work hardening while maintaining surface suitable for subsequent electrolytic coating. HTS 7209.18.25.20 covers this uncoated, cold-rolled annealed product in coils.
Annealed Blackplate for Aerosol Can Stock
Special annealed blackplate coils under 0.361 mm for aerosol spray cans, providing necessary necking and flanging properties. Cold-rolled nonalloy steel in wide coils meets exacting thickness tolerances. HTS 7209.18.25.20 applies to this uncoated annealed intermediate product.
Prime Quality Annealed Blackplate Coil
High-quality prime annealed blackplate steel coils (<0.361 mm x >600 mm) free of surface defects for tinplate conversion. Annealing provides uniform soft temper (T1-T3) ideal for container fabrication. Precisely matches HTS 7209.18.25.20 specifications for cold-rolled annealed blackplate.
TFS Blackplate Precursor Annealed Coil
Annealed blackplate coils designed as precursor for Tin Free Steel (TFS), chemically treated post-import but imported bare. Ultra-thin gauge (<0.361 mm) ensures proper electrolytic chromium application later. HTS 7209.18.25.20 as uncoated cold-rolled annealed product.
Annealed Blackplate Steel Coil for Can Manufacturing
Cold-rolled, annealed flat-rolled nonalloy steel coil under 0.361 mm thick and 600 mm wide, specifically blackplate used primarily for metal can bodies and ends. The annealing process softens the steel after cold-rolling, improving formability for deep drawing in can production. Falls under HTS 7209.18.25.20 as cold-rolled, not further worked, annealed blackplate in coils.
Double Reduced Annealed Blackplate Coil
DR (double reduced) blackplate steel coils, cold-rolled twice then annealed, achieving <0.361 mm thickness for premium can stock. Second reduction provides smoother surface before final annealing for optimal formability. Fits HTS 7209.18.25.20 as cold-rolled, annealed, not further worked.
