Import Tips

Verify coating composition via lab analysis; must confirm aluminum content to avoid reclassification to 7210.49

Provide mill test certificates documenting nonalloy steel base and hot-dip aluminum plating process

Watch for thickness/width specs; products under 600mm width shift to Chapter 72 headings like 7212
