Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7210.49.00Same rate: 35%

If thickness not qualifying as blackplate (≥0.361 mm)

Blackplate thickness limit strictly <0.361 mm; exceeds moves to 'other' cold-rolled.

7308.90.95.90Same rate: 35%

If imported as fabricated duct fittings

Assembled duct structures classify as structures/articles vs flat sheet.

7210.70Lower: 10% vs 35%

If painted at mill

Mill painting constitutes nonmetallic coating = further worked.

Import Tips & Compliance

Duct gauge typically 26-28 ga (0.45-0.50 mm total, but base <0.361 mm)—verify composite thickness

ASTM A1008 standard common—reference in import docs for quality assurance

Galvannealed confusion risk—ensure no zinc coating present for this classification
