Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the wire is coated with flux for electric arc welding
Coated welding electrodes and wire are classified in Chapter 83.
If the wire is in an unworked state as drawn rod
Wire-rod of vanadium may be classified as unwrought.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the wire is in coils and has a uniform cross-section to meet the definition of 'wire' in Section XV
• Document the alloy composition to prove vanadium predominates by weight
• If the wire is for welding, check if it qualifies as welding consumables under another heading
