Overview
This HTS classification covers flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, measuring 600 mm or more in width, which have been painted, varnished, or coated with plastics, but do not fall into the "zinc coated or plated" category. These are essentially steel sheets or coils that have undergone a finishing process involving the application of paint, varnish, or plastic coatings for aesthetic purposes, corrosion resistance, or to impart specific functional properties. Examples include pre-painted steel coils used in construction for roofing and siding, or steel sheets coated with plastic for use in appliance casings.
The key distinction for this "Other" subcategory lies in the absence of a zinc coating or plating as the primary protective or finishing layer. While other coatings may be present, if zinc is not the dominant or defining coating applied in the plating process, the product would typically fall under this classification. For instance, a steel sheet coated with a plastic film over a phosphated surface would be classified here, whereas a galvanized steel sheet with a plastic coating would likely fall under the "Zinc coated or plated" sibling category.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Classification at this level relies on the precise nature of the paint, varnish, or plastic coating, and the fact that it is applied to flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel of the specified width, without being primarily characterized by a zinc coating or plating. Therefore, careful examination of the specific finishing materials and processes is crucial for accurate classification.
