U.S. imports of flat-rolled iron or nonalloy steel, 600mm or more wide, painted, varnished, or plastic-coated (HS 721070) totaled $47.0M in July 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Importers of Flat-Rolled Iron or Nonalloy Steel, 600mm or More Wide, Painted, Varnished, or Plastic-Coated paid $23.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $46.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPainted, varnished, or plastic-coated flat-rolled steel in widths of 600mm or more serves the construction, appliance, and automotive sectors as pre-finished sheet that eliminates downstream coating steps. The US schedule breaks this heading into five 10-digit lines — 7210700000, 7210703000, 7210706030, 7210706060, and 7210706090 — distinguishing whether the substrate carries a metallic undercoat (particularly zinc) and whether that zinc layer was applied electrolytically. South Korea is the leading supplier, with Taiwan and Mexico also prominent sources. All steel imports under this heading are subject to Section 232 tariffs, and antidumping orders on coated steel from certain origins may apply.

The distinction matters commercially and for duty purposes: zinc-coated substrates (galvanized) that are then painted or plastic-coated offer superior corrosion resistance and command different pricing. Lines 7210706030 and 7210706060 specifically capture electrolytically zinc-coated and other zinc-coated variants, respectively, while 7210703000 covers non-metal-coated substrates. Misclassifying the substrate coating type is a common entry error.
Yes — CBP and Commerce have addressed scope questions on whether downstream processing removes a product from Section 232 coverage. Generally, painted or plastic-coated flat-rolled steel remains within scope as a derivative steel article, but importers should review any applicable scope rulings or exclusions for their specific product with a licensed customs broker.
