MR Type Annealed Blackplate Steel Coil from Japan
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.

Import Tips
• 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
