HS-4 · Heading

7210 — Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, width 600mm or more, clad, plated or coated

Chapter 72: Iron and steel

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 7210 when importing flat-rolled products made of iron or non-alloy steel that are 600mm or wider and have a coating or plating. For example, if you're shipping steel sheets that are coated with zinc and measure 1 meter wide, this heading applies.

Choosing the right subheading under HS-4 7210 depends on the type of coating. If your steel is plated with tin and has a thickness of 0.5mm or more, you would classify it under HS-6 721011. For thinner tin coatings, use HS-6 721012.

If your product is zinc-coated but not electrolytically, you have two options: HS-6 721041 for corrugated sheets and HS-6 721049 for non-corrugated sheets. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.

For products coated with materials not specifically mentioned, such as plastics or other coatings, refer to HS-6 721090. This ensures you capture all relevant products under the broader category of coated flat-rolled steel.
