HS Code 7210.41 – Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, corrugated, plated or coated with zinc (not electrolytically)

HS code 7210.41 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or non-alloy steel, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, corrugated, plated or coated with zinc (not electrolytically). It is used for corrugated galvanized iron (CGI) sheets, hot-dip galvanized corrugated roofing, zinc-coated corrugated wall panels, galvanized steel culvert sheets and corrugated metal siding.

What HS 7210.41 covers

This HS code covers flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel, 600mm or more in width, that is corrugated and has been non-electrolytically plated or coated with zinc. This typically refers to hot-dip galvanized corrugated sheets, widely recognized for their strength, durability, and excellent corrosion resistance, especially in outdoor environments. These products are fundamental to the construction industry, particularly for roofing, wall cladding, and fencing in both residential and industrial applications. Key importers are construction material distributors, building contractors, and infrastructure development companies, especially in developing economies or regions prone to harsh weather. Exporters are major steel-producing nations with significant galvanizing and corrugating capabilities. The trade is influenced by construction booms, raw material prices, and regional building codes, making it a high-volume commodity in global markets.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
