Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If terne-plated (tin-lead alloy)
Terne-plating uses lead-tin alloy instead of pure tin, shifting to different subheading within clad/plated products.
If not plated or coated
Uncoated flat-rolled steel of same dimensions falls under Chapter 72 pickle & oiled or not highly worked heading.
If width under 600 mm
Narrower width products are classified separately even with identical thickness and tin plating.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify tin coating weight (e.g
• 2.8 g/m²) via mill test certificate to confirm classification
• Ensure proper documentation of plating method as electrolytic tin
• Watch for reclassification if coating exceeds certain limits resembling terneplate
