2.5mm Heat-Treated Low Carbon Wire for Vine Trellis Systems from Japan
Round 2.5mm diameter iron wire, <0.25% carbon, heat treated for strength in vineyard trellis construction, not plated or coated. Heat treatment provides necessary flexibility and rust resistance for outdoor agricultural use. HTS 7217.10.50.30 applies to this nonalloy, heat-treated round wire profile.

Import Tips
• Chemical analysis certificates mandatory—carbon >0.25% shifts to higher carbon wire headings
• Declare exact heat treatment method (quench/temper) as alternative processes may affect duty
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'galvanized' if only polished; leads to 7217.20 headings and penalties
