21 declarable lines

Heading 7210 covers flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel that is at least 600 mm wide and is clad, plated or coated. The heading is split first by coating material such as tin, lead, zinc, chromium oxides, aluminum or paint and plastics, and then by factors such as thickness, coating process, strength and corrugated form.

How to choose the right subheading

Confirm the product is flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel and at least 600 mm wide.
Identify the coating or plating material: tin, lead, zinc, chromium oxides, aluminum, paint or plastics, or other/clad.
For zinc coatings, decide whether the coating is electrolytic or otherwise and whether the product is corrugated.
Check thickness for tin lines and for the 0.4 mm zinc line, and check high-strength or advanced steel status where listed.
Use the Other lines only when no more specific coating line fits.
