About HS Code 721061
This HS code refers to flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel, 600mm or more in width, that has been plated or coated with aluminium-zinc alloys. Commonly known as Galvalume or Zincalume, this coating combines the barrier protection of aluminum with the galvanic protection of zinc, offering superior corrosion resistance and heat reflectivity compared to traditional galvanized steel. These products are highly sought after in the construction industry for roofing, walling, and structural components, as well as in automotive exhaust systems and appliances. Key importers include construction material suppliers, pre-engineered building manufacturers, and automotive component producers. Exporters are typically large steel producers with specialized hot-dip coating lines. The trade is driven by demand for durable, long-lasting building materials and components, particularly in regions with harsh weather conditions or high aesthetic requirements.
