Terneplate Steel Sheet for Roofing from Mexico
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.

Import Tips
• Verify lead coating thickness and composition via lab analysis to confirm classification; obtain mill test certificates documenting nonalloy steel base and terne plating
• Watch for reclassification if coating weight falls below lead-tin alloy standards
• Declare exact width measurements to avoid disputes over 600mm threshold
