U.S. imports of Hot-Rolled Pickled Flat Steel Coils, Under 3 mm Thick (Non-Alloy, 600 mm+ Wide) (HS 720827) totaled $4.5M in September 2026, imported from 10 countries.
Importers of Hot-Rolled Pickled Flat Steel Coils, Under 3 mm Thick (Non-Alloy, 600 mm+ Wide) paid $2.0M in duties in September 2026, an average duty rate of 44.93% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: September 2026 dataAt gauges below 3 mm, hot-rolled pickled non-alloy steel coils approach the thinner end of the hot-roll range and are frequently used as feedstock for cold-rolling or direct fabrication of light structural parts and automotive components. The US schedule is notably granular here, with four 10-digit lines distinguishing high-strength steel (7208270030), advanced high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel (AHSS/UHSS, 7208270040), other high-strength grades (7208270045), and standard non-alloy coils (7208270060) — making grade documentation essential. Canada and the Netherlands are the primary sources, followed by South Korea, Belgium, and Germany. All lines are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and AHSS/UHSS grades may also attract scrutiny under antidumping orders depending on origin.

Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) and ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) are defined by higher minimum yield and tensile strength thresholds than conventional high-strength grades, and their microstructural characteristics (dual-phase, martensitic, etc.) are typically specified in the purchase order and mill certificate. The separate 10-digit line reflects the distinct end-use profile — primarily automotive body-in-white applications — and importers must ensure the CMTR supports the AHSS/UHSS designation to avoid reclassification.
Yes — the pickling process (acid cleaning to remove mill scale) is a condition of classification under the 7208.27 heading. Coils that have not been pickled would fall under different subheadings. If a coil undergoes additional processing beyond pickling, such as oiling or skin-passing, importers should verify whether that processing changes the applicable HTS classification.
