U.S. imports of alloy steel (non-stainless), flat-rolled, 600 mm or more wide, electrolytically zinc-coated (HS 722591) totaled $2.4M in April 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Importers of Alloy Steel (Non-Stainless), Flat-Rolled, 600 mm or More Wide, Electrolytically Zinc-Coated paid $1.2M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $2.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Alloy Steel (Non-Stainless), Flat-Rolled, 600 mm or More Wide, Electrolytically Zinc-Coated imports of $2.4M in April 2026 ran 50% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.6M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataElectrolytic zinc coating applied to wide alloy steel strip produces a tightly controlled, thin galvanic layer favored in automotive body panels and appliance housings where precise coating weight and surface quality are critical. Under the US schedule, this product is classified under 7225910000 (and the parallel statistical line 7225910002), and all entries are subject to Section 232 tariffs. Germany and Austria are the leading suppliers, reflecting Central Europe's strong automotive supply-chain integration, with Japan and Spain also notable sources. Importers should distinguish this electrolytic process from hot-dip galvanizing, as the two methods fall under separate headings with potentially different duty-order exposure.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Electrolytic zinc coating (722591) deposits zinc from a solution using electrical current, producing a thinner, more uniform layer suited to tight-tolerance applications. Other methods (722592), primarily hot-dip galvanizing, immerse the steel in molten zinc, creating a thicker, more textured coating. The process must be documented — typically via mill certification — because the two headings can carry different antidumping duty exposure depending on origin.
China appears among the top suppliers for this heading, and the US has historically maintained antidumping and/or countervailing duty orders on various coated steel flat products from China. Importers should verify the current scope of any active orders against the specific product description and HTS line before entry, as scope determinations for coated steel can be fact-intensive.
