Electrolytic Galvanized Steel Shims from Japan
Electrolytic galvanized steel shims are precision flat-rolled non-alloy steel sheets, less than 600 mm wide, with an electrolytic zinc coating. The coating provides corrosion resistance while maintaining tight thickness tolerances for machinery alignment applications. These sheets fall under this tariff item as flat-rolled products plated or coated with zinc, before any cutting or shaping into shims.

Import Tips
• Verify the steel is non-alloy and the width is under 600 mm, as wider products are classified elsewhere
• Provide documentation confirming the electrolytic coating process, since hot-dipped products are not covered by this item
• Ensure the goods are declared as flat-rolled products, not as finished shims, to avoid reclassification by the CBSA
