Chapter 72: Iron and steel

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 721011 when importing or exporting flat-rolled products made of iron or non-alloy steel that are coated with tin. These products typically have a width of 600mm or more and a thickness of at least 0.5mm. An example could be tin-plated steel sheets used in the automotive or construction industries.

This code specifically applies to flat-rolled steel products that have a tin coating, distinguishing it from similar lines like HS-6 721012, which covers products plated with other materials. Understanding this difference is crucial for correct classification and compliance.

The 721011 classification is essential for products that require corrosion resistance, such as roofing sheets or food packaging materials. If your product is flat-rolled steel that is simply painted or coated with materials other than tin, you would need to look at different HS codes.

When dealing with international trade, ensure that your documentation clearly states the tin coating, as this affects tariff rates and import regulations. Misclassification can lead to delays or penalties.
