Galvanized Carbon Steel Rebar from China
Hot-rolled carbon steel reinforcing bars coated with zinc plating to prevent corrosion, used in concrete construction. Classified under HTS 7215.90.10.00 as other bars and rods of nonalloy steel that are plated or coated with metal but not cold-formed. The hot-rolled process and metal coating distinguish it from cold-formed or uncoated products.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy steel composition and hot-rolled status to avoid reclassification as alloy steel
• Declare plating thickness and type (e.g
• zinc coating weight) accurately; common pitfall is undervaluing coating which affects value declaration
• Ensure no cold-forming evidence like precise bends, as this shifts to other subheadings
