Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the zinc coating is applied by hot-dip galvanizing
Hot-dip zinc-coated products are classified separately from electrolytically coated ones.
If the sheet has been painted or varnished in addition to zinc plating
Painted or varnished flat-rolled products fall under a different subheading.
