RE: The tariff classification of various laminated steel products from Germany.
Dear Ms. Wiggins:
In your letter dated April 17, 2007, on behalf of Rasselstein GmbH, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The products to be imported are variations of electrolytic tinplate and electrolytic chromium coated steel that have been either laminated with plastic foil or laminated and then lacquered with epoxiphenole. All products are in coil form with thicknesses of 0.266 mm.
The electrolytic tinplate comes in three different varieties. The first type has a width of 230.7 mm and is laminated on one side and lacquered on the other. The next two types have widths of 141.5 mm and are laminated on either one or both sides. All of the electrolytic chromium steel is 141.5 mm thick. Again this product is available either laminated on one side and lacquered on the other, or just laminated on one or both sides.
The applicable subheading for the electrolytic tinplate that has been laminated only will be 7212.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm, clad, plated or coated, plated or coated with tin. The rate of duty will be free.
The applicable subheading for the electrolytic tinplate that has been laminated and lacquered will be 7212.40.10000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm , clad, plated or coated, painted, varnished or coated with plastics, of a width of less than 300 mm. The rate of duty will be free.
The applicable subheading for the electrolytic chromium coated steel that has laminated only will be 7212.50.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for flat-rolled products of iron or nonalloy steel, of a width of less than 600 mm, clad, plated or coated, otherwise plated or coated. The rate of duty will be free.
