High-Strength Steel Banding for Heavy Cargo Securing from Japan
Hot-rolled high-strength steel flat products under 300 mm wide, thickness <3 mm with yield strength ≥275 MPa, used for industrial strapping. Falls under HTS 7211.19.1500 as defined high-strength steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, nonalloy composition. Essential for securing machinery and construction materials during transport.

Import Tips
• Provide documentation proving high-strength specs (yield ≥275 MPa); CBP may test samples
• Ensure no surface treatments like phosphatizing qualify as 'further worked' per Chapter note
• Declare exact width measurement; products ≥300mm shift to different statistical suffix
