HTS tariff line · chapter 72

7210.69.00

Plated or coated with aluminum: other

Analysis

HTS 7210.69.00 covers plated or coated with aluminum: other under heading 7210 (flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, clad…).

This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.09 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 92% of the 262 tariff lines in chapter 72. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 21.5% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 21.5% duty.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 331110 (Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing), an industry of 359 US establishments employing 78,532 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
