Product classification
HS code for Aluzinc steel sheet: 7210.61
Iron or non-alloy steel, flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, plated or coated with aluminium zinc-alloys.
Classification of aluzinc steel sheet under HS 7210.61
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.

Codes often confused with 7210.61
Common mistake. 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.

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).
