Products classified under HTS 7217.10.10.00
Nonalloy Flat Wire for Staple Production
Ultra-thin flat steel wire under 0.25 mm thick, nonalloy with low carbon, uncoated and suitable for high-speed stapler staple manufacturing. Classified under HTS 7217.10.10.00 due to its flat profile, minimal thickness, and absence of plating per chapter definitions. Often polished to reduce friction in forming dies.
Uncoated Flat Steel Shim Stock Wire
Thin flat wire of low-carbon nonalloy steel, ≤0.25 mm thick, not plated or coated, used as precision shim stock in machinery alignment. Falls precisely under HTS 7217.10.10.00 for its flat wire profile and material specs without surface treatments beyond polishing. Provides accurate spacing in industrial assemblies.
Low Carbon Flat Wire for Brush Filaments
Nonalloy steel flat wire under 0.25 mm thickness, low carbon, unplated for industrial brush making where filaments require flexibility. Classified in HTS 7217.10.10.00 as qualifying flat wire not subject to plating or coating. Polished surface prevents filament breakage during weaving.
Polished Flat Wire for Electrical Contacts
Thin polished flat wire from low-carbon nonalloy steel, thickness ≤0.25 mm, not plated, for stamping into small electrical connectors. HTS 7217.10.10.00 applies to this un coated flat wire meeting all material and dimension criteria. Polish enhances conductivity contact surfaces.
Non-Plated Flat Steel Wire for Zipper Teeth
Low-carbon nonalloy flat wire ≤0.25 mm thick, uncoated, precision-formed into zipper slider teeth. Fits HTS 7217.10.10.00 as basic flat wire without plating, prior to zipper assembly. Thin gauge allows interlocking without bulk.
Industrial Low-Carbon Flat Annealed Wire
Annealed flat wire of nonalloy steel with <0.25% carbon, thickness not over 0.25 mm, not plated for flexible industrial tying applications. HTS 7217.10.10.00 covers this polished, uncoated product per tariff structure. Annealing softens for bendability without cracking.
Low Carbon Flat Steel Wire for Paper Clips
Thin flat wire made from nonalloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon content, measuring under 0.25 mm thick, used primarily in manufacturing office paper clips. This product falls under HTS 7217.10.10.00 as unplated, not coated flat wire of iron or nonalloy steel in the specified thin dimension. It is typically polished for smooth handling in automated clipping machines.
Precision Flat Low-Carbon Wire for Binding Coils
Flat nonalloy steel wire, thickness not exceeding 0.25 mm, low carbon content, unplated for use in spiral notebook binding coils. Meets HTS 7217.10.10.00 criteria as not coated, polished flat wire of iron/nonalloy steel. Its thin profile enables tight spiral formation without cracking.
