Hot-Rolled ASTM A572 Grade 50 Alloy Steel Coil from Mexico
ASTM A572 Grade 50 high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel coil, hot-rolled, thickness 4.75+ mm, width 600+ mm. Though strong, doesn't meet strict high-strength steel yield criteria of US Note 72(a), thus 'other' under HTS 7225.30.30.

Import Tips
• Test reports showing yield <355 MPa for ≥3 mm thickness avoid high-strength classification
• Segregate from true high-strength steels to prevent CBP reclassification and penalties
• Width tolerance critical - slit coils may fall under narrower HTS codes
