Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbon below 0.25%
Sub-0.25% carbon round wire in separate 'other' category.
If coated with textile for tire cord
Textile-covered steel tire cord shifts to Chapter 59 textile/steel composites.
If imported as assembled tire bead ring
Fabricated structures classify as steel structures, not raw wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide end-use statements if borderline with industrial high-strength, but carbon keeps it here
• Ensure no deformation like ribs that would classify as concrete reinforcing per note (c)
