U.S. imports of Painted, Varnished, or Plastic-Coated Flat-Rolled Iron & Nonalloy Steel, 600mm Wide or More (SITC 67431) totaled $40.3M in August 2026, imported from 21 countries.
Importers of Painted, Varnished, or Plastic-Coated Flat-Rolled Iron & Nonalloy Steel, 600mm Wide or More paid $20.1M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 49.83% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataPrepainted or organic-coated flat-rolled nonalloy steel in widths of 600 mm or more — including coil coated with polyester, PVDF, epoxy, or other polymer systems — is a primary material for metal roofing, wall panels, garage doors, and appliance exteriors, where color consistency and corrosion-barrier performance drive specification. The coating type (paint, varnish, or plastic laminate) and the underlying substrate (cold-rolled or galvanized) are both commercially significant but do not subdivide this SITC heading further. Section 232 tariffs apply, and the organic coating does not exempt the product from steel trade-remedy measures.

Yes. When a zinc-coated steel substrate receives a subsequent paint, varnish, or plastic coating, the product is classified by its outermost coating. The painted or plastic-coated heading (67431 for wide) takes precedence over the zinc-coating headings, reflecting the essential character imparted by the organic surface treatment.
Importers should request a mill test certificate confirming the substrate type (e.g., cold-rolled or hot-dip galvanized), coating system (paint type, primer and topcoat thickness in microns), gloss level, and color designation. For construction applications, compliance with ASTM or equivalent standards (such as ASTM A755 for metallic-coated prepainted steel) should also be documented to support downstream product warranties.
