HS Code 7210.61 – Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with aluminium zinc-alloys
HS code 7210.61 is the 6-digit subheading for iron or non-alloy steel, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with aluminium zinc-alloys. It is used for galvalume steel sheets, zincalume steel coils, aluminium-zinc alloy coated roofing, aluzinc steel panels and heat-reflective steel sheets.
What HS 7210.61 covers
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.

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).
