Products classified under HTS 7210.20.00.00
Terneplate Steel Sheet for Roofing
Flat-rolled nonalloy steel sheet over 600 mm wide, coated with a lead-tin alloy known as terne metal, commonly used for durable roofing and siding applications. This product falls under HTS 7210.20.00.00 because it is plated or coated with lead (terne-plate) and meets the width requirement for flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel products. The lead coating provides corrosion resistance essential for outdoor exposure.
Lead-Coated Steel for Battery Casings
Wide flat-rolled nonalloy steel sheets plated with lead, exceeding 600 mm in width, designed for manufacturing protective battery containers. Classified under HTS 7210.20.00.00 due to the lead plating on nonalloy steel base meeting width criteria, with the coating preventing acid corrosion. This terne-like coating ensures longevity in electrochemical applications.
Terneplate for Chemical Storage Tanks
Flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel sheets, width over 600 mm, coated with lead-tin terne alloy for lining chemical storage vessels. This product is specifically under HTS 7210.20.00.00 as terne-plate, where the lead coating offers superior resistance to acidic and corrosive substances. Ideal for industrial tank fabrication requiring non-reactive surfaces.
Lead-Plated Steel Sheets for Marine Applications
Broad flat-rolled nonalloy steel over 600 mm wide with lead plating, used in shipbuilding and marine hardware for saltwater corrosion protection. Falls under HTS 7210.20.00.00 as lead-coated (terneplate equivalent), providing a sacrificial layer against harsh marine environments. The coating adheres via hot-dipping process typical for terne metal.
Terne-Coated Steel for Oil Can Linings
Flat-rolled nonalloy steel sheets exceeding 600 mm width, terne-coated with lead-tin alloy for lining oil and grease containers. Classified in HTS 7210.20.00.00 for its lead-inclusive plating, which prevents product-metal reactions and leakage. Historically used in food-grade oil packaging.
Industrial Terneplate for HVAC Ducting
Wide-format (over 600 mm) flat-rolled nonalloy steel sheets with lead-tin terne coating for corrosion-resistant HVAC duct fabrication. HTS 7210.20.00.00 applies due to the specific lead plating on qualifying steel width, enhancing durability in humid, acidic air systems. Coating applied via immersion for uniform protection.
Lead-Terne Steel for Architectural Cladding
Flat-rolled nonalloy steel panels over 600 mm wide, coated with lead-tin terne for exterior architectural cladding and flashing. Under HTS 7210.20.00.00 as terne-plate, the coating weathers to a patina while protecting against atmospheric corrosion. Used in historic building restoration.
Terneplate Coils for Pipe Lining
Coiled flat-rolled nonalloy steel over 600 mm wide, terne-coated for lining industrial pipes carrying corrosive fluids. HTS 7210.20.00.00 covers this lead-plated product, where the coating inhibits internal corrosion in piping systems. Supplied in master coils for slitting and forming.
