Import Tips

• Verify plating composition via lab testing to confirm zinc coating meets 'other base metals' criteria and avoid reclassification

• Provide mill test certificates documenting nonalloy steel composition and flat dimensions to support HTS 7217.30.15.60 entry

• Watch for rust/discoloration allowances - no duty reduction per Chapter 72 notes even if plating shows minor corrosion pre-entry
