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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If silicon-manganese alloy variant
Alloy additions per Chapter 72 definitions shift from nonalloy.
If imported as finished brush with bristles
Assembled brooms/brushes classify in Chapter 96, not raw wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Distinguish polishing from chemical treatments in note; only basic polish allowed here
• Batch test for consistent carbon to prevent random reclassification
• Watch for rust claims—Chapter note denies duty allowances
