Importers of Tin-Plated Flat Iron or Nonalloy Steel, 600mm or Wider, 0.5mm or More Thick paid $681K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 49% on $1.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: April 2026 dataElectrolytic tinplate at or above 0.5 mm thickness is a primary input for heavy-gauge metal packaging — think industrial containers, drums, and specialty can ends — and enters under a single line, 7210110000. Section 232 tariffs apply to all steel mill products in this heading. Turkey leads US imports under this subheading, followed by South Korea and Brazil, a supplier mix that reflects global tinplate capacity concentrated outside traditional Western producers.

CBP may request mill test certificates or conduct physical measurement to verify the declared thickness. Because the boundary between 7210110000 (0.5 mm or more) and 7210120000 (under 0.5 mm) carries classification consequences, importers should ensure mill certifications state nominal and actual thickness clearly and retain those records for potential audit.
Heavier-gauge tinplate (0.5 mm and above) is primarily used in industrial and food-service packaging — large-format cans, paint and chemical containers, and aerosol components — where structural rigidity is required. Automotive and electronics applications that need thinner gauges typically fall under the sub-0.5 mm subheading.
