55% Al-Zn Alloy Coated Prepainted Steel
Prepainted flat-rolled non-alloy steel, over 600 mm wide, first coated with a 55% aluminum-zinc alloy and then finished with an organic paint layer. The aluminum-zinc coating gives it corrosion resistance, while the paint adds color and durability, making it suitable for residential siding and roofing panels. It is classified under tariff item 7210.61.00 because the base product is flat-rolled steel plated with aluminum-zinc alloys, and the additional organic coating does not change its essential character as a coated steel product.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the steel is painted, varnished, or coated with plastics as the primary coating, without the aluminum-zinc layer
This heading covers flat-rolled products plated or coated with paints, varnishes, or plastics, which would apply if the aluminum-zinc coating is absent.
If the steel is less than 600 mm wide and coated with aluminum-zinc alloys
For narrower flat-rolled products, Chapter 72 headings for widths under 600 mm apply, including those plated or coated.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the steel's width exceeds 600 mm and that the aluminum-zinc coating is the primary coating; the organic paint layer should not alter the product's classification
• Have a mill certificate or test report showing the coating composition (e.g
• 55% Al-Zn) ready for CBSA verification
• If the product is further worked (e.g
• cut to shape with additional fabrication), confirm it still qualifies as flat-rolled under Chapter 72
