Type 430 Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel Coil from Mexico
Thin cold-rolled stainless steel coil (less than 0.5 mm thick, 600 mm+ width) made from Type 430 ferritic stainless steel containing 16-18% chromium but overall less than 15% by weight in the certified composition for this HTS subheading. Wound in coils, not further worked beyond cold-rolling. Used primarily for appliance trim, automotive exterior parts, and decorative applications due to its good corrosion resistance and formability.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying chromium content below 15% by weight and exact thickness under 0.5 mm to avoid reclassification
• Ensure proper documentation of cold-rolled status (no further working like polishing or coating) as per Chapter 72 notes
