Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7229.90.00Same rate: Free

If the wire is of other alloy steel, not silico-manganese

Other alloy steel wire, if composition differs from silico-manganese specs.

7217.10.00Same rate: Free

If the wire is non-alloy steel

Non-alloy steel wire, not plated or coated, for springs of carbon steel.

7320.20.00Same rate: Free

If the wire is already formed into springs

Helical springs of iron or steel, if imported as finished springs, are classified here.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify the wire meets silico-manganese steel composition limits (carbon ≀0.7%, manganese 0.5-1.9%, silicon 0.6-2.3%) with a mill certificate

β€’ If the wire is heat-treated or surface-conditioned, ensure it remains within Chapter 72 wire definitions

β€’ Check if the wire is considered a 'part of general use' under Section Note 2, which may affect classification
