7209.18.60 - Other

This HTS category, 7209.18.60, encompasses "other" flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel that have been cold-rolled to a thickness of less than 0.5 mm and are presented in coils without further working beyond the cold-rolling process. These are products that do not fit into the more specific subcategories within the less than 0.5 mm thickness group.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7209.18.25, which specifically covers "blackplate" with a thickness of less than 0.361 mm. Therefore, 7209.18.60 applies to cold-rolled coils with a thickness between 0.361 mm and less than 0.5 mm, provided they are not further processed in a manner that would place them in a different classification.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular classification. The subcategories, 7209.18.60.20 and 7209.18.60.90, distinguish between annealed and other forms of these "other" cold-rolled coils. Annealing is a heat treatment process that modifies the mechanical properties of the steel, and this distinction is crucial for accurate import or export declarations.
