7212
Flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm, clad, plated or coated
Analysis
Heading 7212 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm, clad, plated or coated. It divides into 6 six-digit subheadings and 9 eight-digit tariff lines, with 10 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 9 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 7212.30 (otherwise plated or coated with zinc, 3 lines), 7212.40 (painted, varnished or coated with plastics, 2 lines), 7212.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 7212.20 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (331110). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 46th percentile of the headings in chapter 72.
