0.8mm Low Carbon Steel Round Wire

Round wire of iron or nonalloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon content and a diameter of 0.8mm, not plated or coated. Used primarily for manufacturing springs and small wire forms in automotive and appliance industries. Falls under HTS 7217.10.40 due to its precise diameter under 1.5mm and low carbon composition.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7217.10.20Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If diameter 1.5mm or greater but under 3.0mm

Wire diameter determines subheading; thicker wire shifts to 7217.10.20 while maintaining low carbon and non-plated status.

7217.20.15Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If containing 0.25% or more carbon

Carbon content threshold separates low-carbon (7217.10) from other nonalloy steel wires (7217.20).

7229.90.10Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If alloy steel composition

Alloy elements exceeding nonalloy steel definitions move classification to Chapter 72 alloy steel wire headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify exact diameter measurement with calipers as CBP requires precise compliance for the <1.5mm threshold

• Provide mill test certificate confirming <0.25% carbon content to avoid reclassification to higher carbon categories

• Ensure no surface plating or coating; even minimal oil residue can trigger scrutiny under 'not plated or coated' provision
