Hot-Rolled 304 Stainless Steel Coil 6mm Thick from Japan

A coil of hot-rolled 304 stainless steel measuring 6mm in thickness and over 600mm wide, not annealed or pickled, used primarily for industrial fabrication. Classified under HTS 7219.12.00.02 as flat-rolled stainless steel not further worked than hot-rolled, in coils, with thickness between 4.75mm and 10mm. The lack of annealing or pickling keeps it in this specific subheading.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming stainless steel composition (e.g

18% chromium, 8% nickel for 304 grade) and exact thickness to verify HTS classification

Declare as 'not annealed or not pickled' with surface condition evidence; misclassification to annealed products (7219.13) can trigger audits

Ensure coil weight and dimensions match entry docs; stainless steel imports require proper origin certification under Section 232 if applicable
