Annealed Cold-Rolled Blackplate Coil for Food Packaging from China
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.

Import Tips
• Include chemical composition analysis proving nonalloy steel (not high-strength per US Note 72(a)) to prevent reclassification
• Document annealing process details; improper heat treatment may shift to other subheadings
• Watch for partial rust—no duty allowance per Chapter notes; ensure proper packaging during ocean transit
