Overview

This HTS category, 7209, encompasses flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel that have undergone cold-rolling (also known as cold-reduction). A key defining characteristic is their width, which must be 600 millimeters or more. Crucially, these products are not clad, plated, or coated, meaning their surface remains in its base metal state after the cold-rolling process. This process imparts specific desirable properties such as improved surface finish, tighter dimensional tolerances, and increased strength compared to hot-rolled steel.

Distinguishing 7209 from its sibling categories at the database root level is essential for accurate classification. While other sibling categories in Section XV cover a vast array of base metals and articles thereof, 7209 is specifically focused on a particular form and processing of iron and nonalloy steel. For instance, categories further up the hierarchy might cover live animals, agricultural products, or entirely different classes of manufactured goods, highlighting the specialized nature of this chapter dedicated to iron and steel.

Within 7209, the subcategories provide further detail on the presentation of these cold-rolled flat products. They differentiate based on whether the material is supplied in coils or not in coils, and whether it has undergone any further processing beyond the initial cold-rolling. The "Other" category serves as a catch-all for any other forms of cold-rolled flat products of iron or nonalloy steel meeting the width and finishing criteria that do not fit into the more specific coil or non-coil designations.
