HS Code 7209
Cold-rolled Flat Steel (Width >600mm)
HS code 7209 covers flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel over 600mm wide, cold-rolled and not further worked, providing superior finish for precision uses.
HS Code 7209 — Cold-rolled Flat Steel (Width >600mm)
Cold-rolled steel is hot-rolled steel that has undergone further processing at room temperature to achieve better surface quality, dimensional accuracy, and strength. It is commonly used for household appliances, car bodies, and metal furniture.
What's included
- Cold-rolled steel coils (CRC)
- Cold-rolled full hard sheets
- Annealed steel sheets
- Drawing quality steel
What's excluded
- Corrugated iron sheets → use
7210(Corrugated sheets are usually coated/worked beyond simple cold-rolling.) - Narrow cold-rolled strips → use
7211(If the width is less than 600mm, it is classified elsewhere.)
Common examples
- Cold-rolled steel sheet DC01
- CRC coils for appliance manufacturing
- Full-hard cold-rolled steel
- Automotive grade steel sheet
Frequently asked questions
Why is cold-rolled steel more expensive than hot-rolled?
It involves additional processing steps to achieve tighter tolerances and a smoother surface finish.
