Alternative Classifications

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

7210.90.90.00Same rate: 35%

If clad, plated, or coated with other metals like tin

Tinplate and other non-aluminum metal coatings use 'other metals' subheading.

7213.91.30Same rate: 35%

If bars/rods rather than flat-rolled

Different product forms (bars vs sheets) classify by morphology in Chapter 72.

7225.40.70.00Same rate: 35%

If low/high alloy steel base

Alloy content >0.3% shifts wide flat-rolled coated products to 7225 alloy headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Use XRF testing documentation to prove aluminum plating thickness and uniformity

Confirm not 'high-strength steel' per note (a); those have separate provisions if applicable

Bulk shipments common; ensure proper stowage to prevent coating damage pre-entry
