Products classified under HTS 7217.10.80.20
0.52% Carbon Round Wire for Needle Production
0.52% carbon nonalloy round steel wire, polished, for sewing and hypodermic needle blanks. Classed in HTS 7217.10.80.20 as other uncoated round wire with medium carbon for hardness post-heat treat. Not razor steel due to width/carbon mismatch with note (d).
0.25% Carbon Round Wire for Umbrella Ribs
Minimum 0.25% carbon round nonalloy wire, not coated, polished for umbrella frame ribs. HTS 7217.10.80.20 for threshold carbon round wire, other category. Balances flexibility and strength for collapsible mechanisms.
0.6% Carbon Threshold Round Wire for Tools
Round wire approaching 0.6% max carbon, nonalloy, uncoated/polished for hand tool shanks. Under HTS 7217.10.80.20 as other <0.6% carbon round wire, just below higher bands. Provides case-hardening potential without alloying.
0.45% Carbon Round Steel Wire for Spring Manufacturing
Round wire of nonalloy steel containing 0.45% carbon by weight, not plated or coated, and polished for enhanced surface finish. Classified under HTS 7217.10.80.20 as iron or nonalloy steel wire with 0.25-0.6% carbon, round cross-section, and 'other' specifications not meeting higher-strength categories. Used primarily in compression and extension spring production.
0.35% Carbon Polished Round Wire for Lock Wire
High-tensile round steel wire with 0.35% carbon content, polished but not coated, used in safety lock wiring for aviation and machinery. Falls under HTS 7217.10.80.20 due to its nonalloy composition, specific carbon range, round shape, and exclusion from high-strength steel definitions. Meets tensile requirements for locking fasteners without further working beyond polishing.
0.5% Carbon Round Wire for Music String Production
Round nonalloy steel wire at 0.5% carbon, not plated, lightly polished for drawing into piano and guitar strings. HTS 7217.10.80.20 applies as 'other' round wire in the medium carbon range, nonalloy, without plating or excluded special steel properties. Ideal base material for high-frequency vibration resistance.
0.55% Carbon Polished Wire for Brush Filaments
Round wire of 0.55% carbon nonalloy steel, polished for industrial brush making, not coated or plated. HTS 7217.10.80.20 covers this as other round wire in the designated carbon band, post-polishing but without Chapter note 'further worked' exclusions. Drawn to fine diameters for abrasion-resistant bristles.
0.4% Carbon Round Wire for Chain Link Making
Medium carbon (0.4%) nonalloy steel round wire, not plated, polished for fence chain link production. Fits HTS 7217.10.80.20 as other not-coated round wire in 0.25-<0.6% carbon, suitable for weaving without special alloys. Offers balanced strength and formability for welded mesh.
0.28% Carbon Round Steel Wire for Tire Bead
Nonalloy round wire with 0.28% carbon used in tire bead reinforcement, supplied polished without plating. Under HTS 7217.10.80.20 for other round wire in 0.25-0.6% carbon range, distinguishing from lower carbon tire cord wires. Provides essential hoop strength in radial tire construction.
0.3% Carbon Fine Round Wire for Welding Rod Base
Fine-diameter round wire at 0.3% carbon, nonalloy, polished without coating for welding electrode cores. HTS 7217.10.80.20 for other round carbon-range wire, prior to flux coating. Provides ductility for mild steel arc welding applications.
