Import Tips

Verify zinc coating thickness and method (hot-dip vs electrolytic) via mill test certificate to confirm 7212.30.5000 classification

Ensure product width is documented as under 600 mm; mismeasurement leads to reclassification under wider width headings

Provide coating weight specs (e.g

G90) to avoid disputes over 'other' zinc plating category
