ECCS Blackplate Steel Coils
Electrolytically cleaned cold-rolled blackplate steel coils, thickness below 0.361 mm, width over 600 mm, nonalloy composition. Falls under HTS 7209.18.25.85 as cold-reduced, not further worked despite cleaning (not a coating). Primarily imported for metal packaging like aerosol cans and closures.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-rolled rather than cold-rolled
Cold-rolled vs hot-rolled is primary distinction; hot-rolled flat products of similar spec go to Chapter 72 heading 7210.
If thickness of 0.361 mm or more
Blackplate definition splits at 0.361 mm thickness within the <0.5 mm cold-rolled coil category.
If imported as complete tinplate cans instead of sheet
Finished containers from this material classify as reservoirs/tanks, not raw flat-rolled products.

Our AI classifier can analyze your specific product and recommend the correct HTS code with confidence.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide chemical composition certificates confirming nonalloy steel (no specified alloying elements per Chapter 72 notes)
• Document cold-rolling process; distinguish from hot-rolled via surface finish and mill certifications
• Watch for misdeclaration as 'tinplate'—this is uncoated blackplate only
