Decorative Tinplate for Gift Cans
Decorative tinplate sheets, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, printed for use in premium gift cans. The product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as the base tin-plated flat-rolled product before printing or further working. Printing alone does not change its classification as a flat-rolled product.
Double Reduced (DR) Tinplate for Fancy Cans
Double reduced (DR) tinplate sheets, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with a double-reduced temper for enhanced strength in fancy food cans. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a thin tin-plated flat-rolled product. The double reduction process does not alter its classification.
Electrolytic Chrome Coated Steel (ECCS) for Ends
Electrolytic Chrome Coated Steel (ECCS) sheets, also known as tin-free steel, are flat-rolled non-alloy steel products with a metallic chromium coating. These sheets are under 0.5 mm thick and over 600 mm wide, making them suitable for manufacturing can ends and closures. They fall under this tariff item as they are plated or coated with tin (including chromium-based tin-free equivalents) and meet the specified thickness and width criteria.
ETP Tinplate for Beverage Can Bodies
Electrolytic tinplate (ETP) sheets, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with a bright tin coating for food-grade beverage cans. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a flat-rolled product of non-alloy steel plated with tin. The tin coating provides corrosion resistance and a food-safe surface.
Food Grade Electrolytic Tinplate for Pet Food
Food-grade electrolytic tinplate sheets, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with a heavy chrome layer under the tin for sulfur resistance in pet food cans. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a tin-plated flat-rolled product. The chrome layer does not change the essential character of the tin coating.
Heavy Gauge Tinplate Borderline Thin Sheets
Heavy gauge tinplate sheets, near but below 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with electrolytic tin coating for heavy-duty cans. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a thin tin-plated flat-rolled product. The thickness must be precisely under 0.5 mm to qualify.
Matte Finish (MS Type) Tinplate Coils
Matte finish (MS type) tinplate coils, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with a low-reflection surface for welded can bodies. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a thin tin-plated flat-rolled product. The matte finish is a surface characteristic that does not affect classification.
MR Type Tinplate Steel for Food Cans
MR type tinplate steel sheets, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with a matte finish for general food canning. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a thin tin-plated flat-rolled product. The MR type refers to the steel grade, which is non-alloy and suitable for food contact.
Prime Electrolytic Tin Coated Steel Coils
Prime electrolytic tin coated steel coils, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with a high-quality tin coating for aerosol cans. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a thin tin-plated flat-rolled product. The coils are in a form prior to slitting or further processing.
Single Reduced Tinplate for General Line Cans
Single reduced tinplate sheets, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with electrolytic tin coating for sanitary food cans. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a thin tin-plated flat-rolled product. The single reduction process is standard for three-piece can manufacturing.
Stone Finish Tinplate for Drawn Cans
Stone finish tinplate sheets, less than 0.5 mm thick, of non-alloy steel at least 600 mm wide, with a rough surface for lubrication in deep drawing applications. This product is classified under tariff item 7210.12.00 as a thin tin-plated flat-rolled product. The stone finish is a surface texture that aids in forming two-piece cans.
Tin Free Steel (TFS) Chromium Coated Alternative
Tin Free Steel (TFS) with a chromium coating is a flat-rolled non-alloy steel product under 0.5 mm thick and at least 600 mm wide. It is used as an alternative to tin-plated steel for can ends and food packaging applications. This product is classified under this tariff item as a tin-plated or coated flat-rolled product, with the chromium coating serving as a tin-free equivalent.
Tin Mill Black Plate (TMBP) Base for Plating
Tin Mill Black Plate (TMBP) that has been plated or coated with tin is a flat-rolled non-alloy steel product under 0.5 mm thick and at least 600 mm wide.
