Electrolytic Chrome Coated Steel (ECCS) for Ends from China
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.

Import Tips
• Ensure the steel's thickness and width are accurately documented (under 0.5 mm and at least 600 mm) to support classification under 7210.12.00
• Provide a mill test certificate or certificate of analysis to the CBSA if requested, confirming the non-alloy steel composition and chromium coating
• Verify whether the product qualifies for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement, as duty rates may be reduced or eliminated
