HS Code for Galvalume steel sheet

Galvalume steel sheet is classified under HS code 7210.61. This classification is found within Chapter 72, which covers iron and steel. Heading 7210 is dedicated to flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel with a width of 600 mm or more that have been clad, plated, or coated. Galvalume is a specific type of coating consisting of an alloy of approximately 55% aluminum, 43.4% zinc, and 1.6% silicon. Because the coating is an aluminum-zinc alloy, the product falls under subheading 7210.61, which specifically identifies products "plated or coated with aluminium-zinc alloys." The classification is driven by the width of the sheet (must be 600 mm or wider) and the specific chemical nature of the metallic coating. This material is widely used in roofing and siding due to its excellent corrosion resistance, combining the barrier protection of aluminum with the sacrificial protection of zinc.

Products Included

• Galvalume steel coils (width ≥ 600mm)
• Aluminum-zinc alloy coated flat sheets
• Zincalume steel sheets
• Corrugated Galvalume roofing panels (if width ≥ 600mm)
• Anti-fingerprint coated Galvalume sheets

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification for Galvalume is HS code 7210.49, which covers steel coated with zinc (galvanized steel). While similar, Galvalume must be under 7210.61 due to the aluminum content in the alloy. Another error occurs when the sheet is less than 600 mm wide; in such cases, it must be classified under heading 7212. Finally, if the Galvalume sheet is painted or plastic-coated over the alloy, it should be classified under HS code 7210.70.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Galvalume steel?

The HS code for Galvalume steel sheets with a width of 600 mm or more is 7210.61.

What if the Galvalume sheet is narrower than 600 mm?

If the width is less than 600 mm, the product is classified under HS code 7212.50, which covers smaller flat-rolled products coated with other materials.
