Cold-Rolled Blackplate Steel for Can Manufacturing
Thin cold-rolled nonalloy steel sheet under 0.361 mm thick, in coils, not further worked beyond cold-rolling, specifically classified as blackplate under HTS 7209.18.25.85. Used primarily for fabricating metal food and beverage cans due to its formability and corrosion resistance. Meets the precise thickness and width criteria (600 mm+) for this subheading.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If thickness of 0.361 mm or more but not over 0.5 mm
Thinner blackplate under 0.361 mm stays in 7209; slightly thicker shifts to adjacent thickness band in 7210.
If width under 600 mm
Width threshold of 600 mm+ defines this heading; narrower coils classify under different width subheadings.
If clad, plated, or coated after cold-rolling
Chapter 72 defines 'further worked' to include coatings/cladding, moving product out of 'not further worked' category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify exact thickness measurement (<0.361 mm) with certified mill test reports to avoid reclassification to thicker gauges
• Ensure no surface treatments like coating or cladding; import as 'not further worked' with clean surface inspection
