Overview
This HTS category, 7210.61.00.00, specifically classifies flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, with a width of 600 millimeters or more, that have been plated or coated with aluminum-zinc alloys. These products are characterized by the application of a protective or decorative coating composed of a mixture of aluminum and zinc. Examples include galvanized steel sheets and coils where the coating is an aluminum-zinc alloy, often referred to by trade names like Galvalume or Aluzinc, providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to traditional zinc coatings alone.
Within the broader heading of "Plated or coated with aluminum," this subcategory distinguishes itself from its sibling, 7210.69.00.00 ("Other"). While both fall under the umbrella of aluminum coatings, 7210.61.00.00 is narrowly focused on the specific composition of an aluminum-zinc alloy. The "Other" category would encompass flat-rolled steel products coated with pure aluminum or other aluminum-based coatings that do not meet the specific alloy composition criteria of this subheading.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive at this level based on the material of the flat-rolled product (iron or non-alloy steel), its dimensions (width of 600 mm or more), and the specific nature of the metallic coating (plated or coated with aluminum-zinc alloys).
