Alternative Classifications

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

7210.70.60Same rate: 35%

If paint considered primary coating

Thicker organic coatings over metal plating classify under 'painted' 7210.70.

3208.90.00.00Higher: 38.2% vs 35%

If imported primarily as painted product

Paint dominates if metal substrate de minimis, shifting to Chapter 32.

Import Tips & Compliance

Classify by predominant zinc coating; thin paint layers don't override per U.S. note on further working

Provide color match and durability test reports for painted surface claims

Separate paint value if significant for proper dutiable value calculation
