HS Code for Aluzinc steel sheet

Aluzinc steel sheets, also known by trade names like Galvalume, are classified under HS code 7210.61. This classification is found in Chapter 72, which covers iron and steel. The specific heading 7210 applies to flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, with a width of 600 mm or more, that are plated or coated. Subheading 7210.61 is reserved for those products specifically coated with aluminum-zinc alloys. The classification is driven by the metallurgical composition of the coating, which typically consists of approximately 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, and 1.6% silicon. The Harmonized System distinguishes between different types of metallic coatings (e.g., pure zinc, pure aluminum, or alloys). Because Aluzinc is a specific alloy coating, it is separated from standard galvanized steel. The width of the product is also a critical factor; the 7210 heading only applies to 'wide' products (600 mm or more), while narrower strips fall under a different heading.

Products Included

• Galvalume steel coils (width ≥ 600mm)
• Aluzinc coated flat sheets
• Corrugated Aluzinc roofing sheets (width ≥ 600mm)
• Aluminum-zinc alloy coated non-alloy steel plates
• Anti-fingerprint coated Aluzinc sheets

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is with HS code 7210.41 or 7210.49, which covers steel coated with zinc (galvanized steel). While similar in appearance, the presence of aluminum in the coating necessitates the use of 7210.61. Another error involves the width; if the Aluzinc sheet is less than 600 mm wide, it must be classified under HS code 7212.60, which covers narrower flat-rolled products.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Aluzinc steel sheet?

For sheets with a width of 600 mm or more, the HS code is 7210.61.

Is Galvalume the same as Aluzinc for HS classification?

Yes, both Galvalume and Aluzinc refer to steel coated with an aluminum-zinc alloy and are classified under the same HS code 7210.61.
