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
• Confirm the galvanization is a coating, not a cladding that changes the base metal
• Keep the steel composition certificate to show iron or steel predominance
• Declare the product as expanded metal, not as wire mesh, to avoid misclassification
Related Products under Tariff item 7314.50.00
Aluminum-Plated Expanded Metal Sheet
Aluminum-plated expanded metal sheet made from steel wire, processed by slitting and stretching to create diamond-shaped openings. The aluminum plating provides corrosion resistance while the steel base keeps it within heading 73.14 as expanded metal of iron or steel.
Carbon Steel Expanded Metal Grating
Heavy-duty expanded metal grating made from low-carbon steel wire, with raised strands for slip resistance on walkway platforms. The expansion process creates a mesh-like structure distinct from welded grating, qualifying it under heading 73.14.
Diamond Pattern Expanded Metal Panel
Diamond pattern expanded metal panels made from mild steel wire, commonly used for machine guards and ventilation. The uniform diamond openings result from slitting and stretching the sheet, a defining characteristic of expanded metal under heading 73.14.
Flattened Expanded Metal Sheet
Flattened expanded metal sheets from steel wire, processed by rolling after expansion to create a smoother surface for architectural screens. Despite flattening, the product retains its expanded metal character and remains in heading 73.14.
Galvanized Expanded Metal Fence
Galvanized expanded metal sheets designed for perimeter fencing, made from steel wire and expanded to form a rigid mesh. The galvanization provides corrosion resistance, but the base steel construction keeps it under heading 73.14 as expanded metal.
Heavy Gauge Expanded Steel Mesh
Heavy gauge expanded steel mesh (3/4# style) used for concrete reinforcement and security barriers, made by expanding steel sheets. The heavy gauge and specific pattern do not affect classification under heading 73.14 as expanded metal of iron or steel.
