Flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated
22 declarable lines
Heading 7209 covers flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel that is 600 mm or wider and cold-rolled (cold-reduced) but not clad, plated or coated. The heading splits first by form, in coils versus not in coils, then by thickness, and within coils by whether the steel is high-strength, whether it is annealed, and by statistical note 4 categories. All lines in this heading carry a general (MFN) rate of Free.
Products in this heading
- Cold-rolled steel sheet in coils, 3 mm thick, for general fabrication
- Cold-reduced coil in 1.5 mm thickness for appliance panels
- Annealed high-strength cold-rolled sheet for automotive body parts
- Blackplate under 0.361 mm for tin mill products
- Cut-to-length cold-rolled sheet 0.8 mm thick for shelving
- Cold-rolled sheet under 0.5 mm for drum and container bodies
- Cold-reduced sheet 2 mm thick, not in coils, for stamping blanks
How to choose the right subheading
- Form: whether the steel is in coils or not in coils, since each has its own subheading group.
- Thickness: 3 mm or more, over 1 mm but under 3 mm, 0.5 mm to 1 mm, or under 0.5 mm.
- For in-coil goods, whether the steel is high-strength or other.
- For in-coil goods, whether the steel is annealed or not annealed.
- For high-strength annealed coil, whether it meets the advanced or ultra description in statistical note 4 to chapter 72, and for thin coil whether it is blackplate under 0.361 mm.
Often confused with
- Heading 7208Hot-rolled steel sheet in coils of the same width
Hot-rolled, not cold-reduced, so it falls in the hot-rolled flat-rolled heading.
- Heading 7210Galvanized or otherwise zinc-coated steel sheet
Clad, plated or coated products are excluded from 7209 and classified in 7210.
- Heading 7211Cold-rolled steel strip under 600 mm wide
Width under 600 mm moves the product out of heading 7209.
- Heading 7219Cold-rolled stainless steel sheet 600 mm or wider
Stainless steel is covered by its own flat-rolled heading, not nonalloy steel.
- Heading 7225Cold-rolled sheet of other alloy steel 600 mm or wider
Alloy steel other than stainless is classified in heading 7225.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for cold-rolled steel sheet in coils 3 mm or thicker?
Use 7209.15.00.00. The general (MFN) rate for that line is Free.
What is the duty on cold-rolled high-strength steel coil between 1 mm and 3 mm?
Annealed high-strength coil of that thickness is 7209.16.00.45, and the general (MFN) rate is Free. Non-annealed high-strength coil is 7209.16.00.60, also Free.
How do I classify cold-rolled steel sheet not in coils, 0.5 mm to 1 mm thick?
That product is classified under 7209.27.00.00. The general (MFN) rate for this line is Free.
