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 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 coated with flux for welding
Welding wire coated with flux is classified under heading 8311, not 7229.
If the wire is in irregularly wound coils and hot-rolled
Alloy steel wire in irregularly wound coils is classified under heading 7221, not 7229.
