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 of non-alloy steel
Wire of non-alloy steel is classified under heading 7213, not 7229, if the alloying elements do not meet the thresholds for alloy steel.
If the wire is of silico-manganese steel
Silico-manganese steel has a specific subheading, and if the composition meets the defined limits, it would be classified there.
If the wire is barbed or twisted for fencing
Barbed wire and twisted wire for fencing are classified under heading 7313, not as plain wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the grade 5160 composition with a mill certificate to confirm it is alloy steel and not non-alloy steel
• Verify that the wire is not classified as concrete reinforcing bar, which has specific statistical notes and may fall under other headings
• Ensure the wire is cold-formed, as hot-rolled wire in coils may be classified differently
