Last updated: April 2026 dataElectrolytic zinc plating deposits a thin, uniform zinc layer on narrow flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel strip, producing a surface finish prized in precision stamping, automotive components, and appliance parts. All imports under this heading enter under a single 10-digit line, 7212200000, and are subject to Section 232 tariffs applicable to steel mill products. Japan and Germany are the leading suppliers, reflecting the high-tolerance manufacturing capabilities required for consistent coating weight and surface quality.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Electrolytic plating (HTS 721220) deposits zinc through an electrochemical process, yielding a thinner, more uniform coating suited to tight-tolerance applications. Hot-dip or other non-electrolytic zinc coatings on narrow strip fall under HTS 721230. The distinction matters at entry because the two headings are separate tariff lines with different trade-remedy exposure histories.
Yes. Flat-rolled steel products, including electrolytically zinc-plated narrow strip under 7212200000, are generally subject to Section 232 tariffs. Importers should verify current exclusion status and any product-specific exclusion requests with a licensed customs broker before entry.
