Heat-Treated 0.45% Carbon Spring Wire

Round wire of nonalloy steel containing 0.45% carbon by weight, heat treated for enhanced tensile strength and elasticity. Used primarily in manufacturing compression and extension springs for automotive suspensions and industrial machinery. Classified under HTS 7217.10.80.10 due to its carbon content between 0.25-0.6%, round shape, and heat treatment without plating or coating.

Alternative Classifications

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

7217.10.20Same rate: 35%

If not heat treated

Untreated round wire with 0.25-0.6% carbon falls under general non-heat-treated category.

7217.20.15Same rate: 35%

If plated or coated

Plated versions, even heat-treated, move to Chapter 72 coated wire headings.

7229.90.10Same rate: 35%

If alloy steel composition

Exceeding nonalloy limits (e.g., added chromium) classifies as alloy steel wire.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon content (0.25-0.6%) and heat treatment process to avoid reclassification

Declare exact diameter and tensile strength; common pitfall is misstating as cold-drawn without heat treatment

Check for inadvertent coatings; even light oil may shift to plated categories requiring different documentation
