HS code · 6-digit subheading
HS Code 7225.92 – Steel, alloy; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, n.e.c. in heading no. 7225, plated or coated with zinc (other than electrolytically)
HS code 7225.92 is the 6-digit subheading for steel, alloy, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, n.e.c. in heading no. 7225, plated or coated with zinc (other than electrolytically). It is used for hot-dip galvanized alloy steel sheets, galvanized alloy steel coils, zinc-aluminum alloy coated steel, automotive hot-dip galvanized steel and construction grade galvanized alloy steel.
What HS 7225.92 covers
This code covers flat-rolled alloy steel, 600mm or more in width, that has been plated or coated with zinc by methods other than electrolysis, most commonly hot-dip galvanizing. Hot-dip galvanizing creates a thicker, more robust zinc layer, providing superior long-term corrosion protection, especially in harsh outdoor or industrial environments. This material is extensively used in construction for roofing and structural components, in the automotive industry for underbody parts and chassis, and in general fabrication. Importers are typically construction companies, automotive suppliers, and general metal fabricators. Exporters are large integrated steel mills with hot-dip galvanizing lines. Trade volumes are substantial, driven by global infrastructure development and industrial demand for durable, weather-resistant materials.

Codes often confused with 7225.92
Common mistake. Frequently mistaken for 721049, which covers non-alloy hot-dip galvanized steel, if the alloy content is not confirmed. It is also distinct from 722591, which specifies electrolytically zinc-coated steel with different coating properties.
Top exporters and importers of HS code 722592, 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS code 722592 in UN Comtrade data was Austria, with 17% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was Mexico, with 9.9% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
