U.S. imports of tin-plated or tin-coated flat-rolled iron & nonalloy steel, 600mm wide or more (SITC 67421) totaled $109.8M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Importers of Tin-Plated or Tin-Coated Flat-Rolled Iron & Nonalloy Steel, 600mm Wide or More paid $58.3M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 53% on $109.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Tin-Plated or Tin-Coated Flat-Rolled Iron & Nonalloy Steel, 600mm Wide or More imports of $109.8M in April 2026 ran 40% above the year-to-date monthly average of $78.2M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataTinplate — flat-rolled nonalloy steel electrolytically coated with tin in widths of 600 mm or more — is the foundational material for food and beverage can manufacturing, where FDA-regulated food-contact compliance and precise tin-coating weight (measured in grams per square meter) govern procurement specifications. Wide tinplate coil is sourced globally and is subject to Section 232 tariffs; antidumping orders on tinplate from certain origins have been investigated, so origin-specific duty exposure warrants verification before contracting. Coating weight, temper grade, and surface finish are the key specification variables that distinguish commodity tinplate from premium packaging grades.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Tin coating weight (expressed as a differential or equal coating designation in g/m²), temper grade (T1 through DR9), and surface finish (bright, stone, or matte) are the primary specification variables. These affect both the commercial grade and, in some cases, the applicable HTS subheading at the 10-digit level, so the mill certificate should clearly state all three parameters.
The steel substrate itself is not subject to FSIS or FDA import admissibility review as a raw material. However, downstream can manufacturers must ensure the tinplate meets FDA food-contact material standards (21 CFR) when used in food packaging. Importers of the raw coil do not face a mandatory admissibility inspection, but should retain mill certifications confirming coating composition for their customers' compliance records.
