Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 7314.50.00
Aluminum-Plated Expanded Metal Sheet
Aluminum-plated expanded metal sheet made from steel wire, expanded into a diamond mesh pattern. The aluminum plating provides corrosion resistance while the base remains iron or steel, qualifying it as expanded metal of iron or steel under tariff item 7314.50.00.
Carbon Steel Expanded Metal Grating
Heavy-duty expanded metal grating made from low-carbon steel wire, featuring raised strands for slip resistance on walkway platforms. It is produced by slitting and stretching steel sheet, not by welding, so it qualifies as expanded metal under tariff item 7314.50.00.
Diamond Pattern Expanded Metal Panel
Standard diamond-pattern expanded metal panels made from mild steel wire, used for machine guards and ventilation. The diamond openings are formed by slitting and stretching, not weaving, so it fits the definition of expanded metal under tariff item 7314.50.00.
Flattened Expanded Metal Sheet
Flattened expanded metal sheets made from steel wire, offering a smoother surface for architectural screens. The flattening process does not change the fundamental nature of expanded metal, so it remains classified under tariff item 7314.50.00.
Galvanized Expanded Metal Fence
Galvanized expanded metal sheets designed for perimeter fencing applications, made from steel wire and expanded into a mesh. As expanded metal of iron or steel, it falls under tariff item 7314.50.00, distinct from assembled fencing structures.
Galvanized Steel Expanded Metal Sheet
Galvanized steel expanded metal sheet with diamond-shaped openings created by slitting and stretching the sheet. The galvanized coating does not alter the base material, so it qualifies as expanded metal of iron or steel under tariff item 7314.50.00.
Heavy Gauge Expanded Steel Mesh
Heavy gauge expanded steel mesh (3/4# style) used for concrete reinforcement and security barriers. Made from steel wire and expanded, it falls under tariff item 7314.50.00 as expanded metal of iron or steel, not as welded wire mesh.
Raised Expanded Metal for Walkways
Raised strand expanded metal made from carbon steel for anti-slip walkway platforms. The raised strands provide slip resistance, and the expansion process defines it as expanded metal under tariff item 7314.50.00.
Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh
Stainless steel expanded metal mesh (type 304) with uniform hexagonal openings for ventilation and security applications. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, so it qualifies as expanded metal of iron or steel under tariff item 7314.50.00.
Ventilation Expanded Metal Screen
Lightweight expanded metal screens for HVAC ventilation grilles, made from steel wire and expanded into a mesh. The expansion process, not weaving, defines it as expanded metal under tariff item 7314.50.00.
