Electrogalvanized Painted Steel for Electrical Cabinets
> Flat-rolled non-alloy steel sheets, at least 600 mm wide, that are electro-zinc plated and then powder-coated with an epoxy finish for electrical control panel enclosures. The epoxy powder coating is a plastic coating, so the product falls under tariff item 7210.70.00 as coated with plastics. The electro-zinc layer is a base coating that does not affect classification.
