Cold-Formed Galvanized Low-Carbon Steel Fence Posts
Cold-formed U-shaped or T-shaped posts of nonalloy steel, hot-dip galvanized for outdoor durability. Falls under HTS 7215.90.30.00 as other cold-formed, metal-coated bars/rods of iron or nonalloy steel, not qualifying as concrete reinforcing. Zinc coating provides essential corrosion protection for agricultural fencing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further worked with fittings attached
Posts assembled with bases or clamps become 'other structures' under 7308 rather than raw coated bars.
If not cold-formed but hot-rolled and coated
Hot-rolled coated angles/shapes classify under 7216, distinguished by forming temperature.
If concrete reinforcing type with ribs
Deformed surface patterns meeting U.S. note (c) shift to specific rebar headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document cold-forming process (no hot-rolling) with production records; ensure zinc coating meets ASTM A123 standards; declare exact dimensions as weight-based duties apply
