Tin Mill Black Plate Chrome Coated Steel from Germany
Flat-rolled nonalloy steel sheet of width over 600 mm, coated with chromium and chromium oxides for corrosion resistance, commonly used in can manufacturing. This falls under HTS 7210.50.00.90 as it is plated or coated with chromium oxides, excluding more specific zinc or aluminum coated products. The coating provides a thin passive layer ideal for food packaging applications.

Import Tips
• Verify coating composition via lab analysis to confirm chromium/chromium oxide plating per Chapter 72 notes
• Provide mill test certificates documenting nonalloy steel base and coating specs to avoid reclassification
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; chrome-coated products often scrutinized for transshipment from Asia
