More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the wire is stranded or twisted into a rope
This covers stranded wire, ropes, and cables of iron or steel, which are classified as finished products.
If the wire is uncoated
This covers plain wire of iron or non-alloy steel, which may be used as a core before galvanizing.
If the wire is coated with a metal other than zinc
This covers wire plated or coated with other base metals, such as copper, for specialized rope cores.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Classify the wire as a single wire, not as a wire rope, since it is imported as a core component before stranding
• Verify the wire's carbon content is below 0.25% and the diameter is over 1.5 mm
• The Class 1 zinc coating should be documented with coating weight specifications to support the classification
