U.S. imports of flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel, under 600mm wide, tin-plated or tin-coated (HS 721210) totaled $1.0M in July 2026, traded with 10 countries.
Importers of Flat-Rolled Iron or Nonalloy Steel, Under 600mm Wide, Tin-Plated or Tin-Coated paid $127K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 12% on $1.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataTin-plated narrow steel strip — under 600mm wide — is the feedstock for small-diameter can ends, closures, specialty packaging components, and electrical contact strips where tin's solderability and corrosion resistance in a narrow-width format are required. Unlike the wide tinplate used for full can bodies (classified in the 600mm-or-more headings), this narrow product serves precision fabricators and is classified under a single US line, 7212100000. Germany and Japan are the leading suppliers, with Canada also a notable source. Section 232 tariffs apply, and importers should verify that the tin coating weight and substrate specifications align with the classification rather than a more specific alloy steel heading.

Wide tinplate (600mm or more) is the standard substrate for three-piece food and beverage cans and classifies under heading 7210. Narrow tin-plated strip under 721210 is used for smaller components — closures, can ends, electrical contacts, and specialty packaging — where slit-to-width precision is part of the product's value. The width boundary of 600mm is the definitive classification criterion.
Mill test certificates specifying the coating weight (in grams per square meter) and whether the tin was applied electrolytically or by hot-dip are standard supporting documents. Electrolytic tinplate (ETP) and hot-dip tinplate have different coating weight ranges and surface characteristics; while both classify under 7212100000, the coating method may be relevant to antidumping scope determinations or buyer specifications.
