1.2mm Heat-Treated High-Carbon Spring Wire from Mexico
Round wire of nonalloy steel with 0.6% or more carbon content, heat-treated for enhanced tensile strength, and sized at 1.2 mm diameter. Classified under HTS 7217.10.80.30 due to its specific diameter range (1.0-1.5 mm), high carbon composition, and heat treatment without plating or coating. Used primarily in manufacturing coil springs for automotive suspensions.

Import Tips
• Certify exact carbon content (≥0.6%) and diameter measurement at entry to match HTS 7217.10.80.30; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Provide heat treatment process documentation (e.g
• quenching/tempering specs) as proof it's not merely polished
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims for duty reduction per Chapter 72 notes; inspect shipments pre-entry
