AISI 1018 Hot-Rolled Steel Coil from Germany

Hot-rolled bars and rods of low-carbon nonalloy steel (AISI 1018) wound irregularly into coils, typically used for general fabrication and machining. This product falls under HTS 7213.99.00 as it consists of hot-rolled nonalloy steel in irregularly wound coils, not fitting specific subheadings for concrete reinforcing or other specialized types. The irregular coiling distinguishes it from straight lengths classified elsewhere.

Import Tips

Verify chemical composition certification to confirm nonalloy status (under 10% alloying elements) avoiding misclassification into Chapter 72 alloy steel headings

Ensure documentation specifies 'irregularly wound coils' and hot-rolled process to distinguish from cold-rolled (HTS 72.14) or straight bars (HTS 72.13 straight)

Watch for rust/discoloration; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes—inspect coils pre-entry and claim only if post-entry damage
