Galvannealed High-Strength Steel Coil for Automotive Frames from Japan
Flat-rolled high-strength steel coil, width over 600 mm, zinc-coated via galvannealing process, with minimum yield point of 355 MPa for thicknesses 3 mm or more. Classified under HTS 7210.49.0045 as other high-strength steel plated or coated with zinc, not in universal mill plate form. Used primarily in structural automotive components requiring corrosion resistance and strength.

Import Tips
• Certify high-strength steel specs (yield point 275 MPa for <3mm or 355 MPa for ≥3mm) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact coating type (galvannealed vs hot-dip galvanized) and width precisely; discrepancies lead to audits
• Ensure no patterns in relief or coil form documentation to distinguish from universal mill plates
