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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If temper-rolled after annealing
Skin-passed or temper-rolled products count as further worked, moving to heading 7212.
If thickness 0.361-0.5 mm
Slightly thicker cold-rolled coils classify in the adjacent thickness band.
If alloy steel composition
Alloy versions (per US tool steel notes) shift to Chapter 72 heading 7225.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify 'blackplate' and exact thickness measurement method in entry docs to match statistical suffix .20
• Confirm no 'further working' like polishing per Chapter 72 definition; even light surface treatments shift classification
• Anti-dumping duties may apply to certain origins—check Commerce scope rulings for 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.
