Electrolytic Galvanized Steel Gutter Brackets from Japan
Electrolytic galvanized steel gutter brackets are narrow flat-rolled non-alloy steel strips, less than 600 mm wide, coated with zinc through an electrolytic process. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance essential for exterior roofing applications. These strips are classified under this tariff item as flat-rolled products plated or coated with zinc, before any final fabrication into brackets.

Import Tips
• Ensure the strips are under 600 mm in width and confirm the zinc coating is applied electrolytically, as other coating methods fall under different tariff items
• Declare the goods as flat-rolled products, not as finished brackets, to avoid classification issues with the CBSA
• Keep mill test certificates showing the non-alloy steel composition and coating weight
