Last updated: April 2026 dataNarrow prepainted or organic-coated nonalloy steel strip — under 600 mm wide — serves fabricated components such as venetian blind slats, narrow roll-formed trim, and small-appliance housings where the finished surface must be maintained through forming without cracking or delamination. Flexibility of the organic coating under bending (T-bend rating) is a key procurement specification that distinguishes grades within this heading. As with all flat-rolled steel imports, Section 232 tariffs apply, and the organic coating does not create an exemption from steel trade-remedy scope.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The T-bend rating measures how tightly a prepainted steel strip can be bent without the coating cracking or losing adhesion — a 0T bend means the strip can be folded flat on itself. For roll-formed or stamped narrow-strip applications, specifying the minimum acceptable T-bend rating on the purchase order ensures the coating system is compatible with the forming process and prevents field failures.
Yes. Section 232 tariffs apply to flat-rolled steel products broadly, without a width-based exemption. Both wide (67431) and narrow (67432) prepainted steel are covered. Importers seeking a product-specific exclusion must apply separately for each applicable HTS 10-digit subheading, as exclusions are not automatically transferable across width categories.
