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 zinc coating is applied electrolytically
Subheading 7226.91 covers flat-rolled products of other alloy steel, under 600 mm wide, electrolytically plated or coated with zinc, which applies to electro-galvanized products.
If the strip is fabricated into fence rails with holes or notches
Section Note 1(g) excludes articles of Section XVII, and heading 7308 covers structures and parts of structures of iron or steel, such as fence sections.
If the product is in coil form and meets the definition of wire
If the product is cold-formed and in coils, it may be classified as wire of iron or non-alloy steel, but only if the base is not alloy steel.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the strip is not further worked into fence posts or rails with holes or bends, which would move it to heading 7308 as structures
• Provide documentation of the hot-dip galvanizing process and alloy steel composition to avoid misclassification
