0.8mm High-Carbon Spring Steel Wire

Round wire of nonalloy steel containing 0.6% or more carbon by weight, with a diameter of 0.8mm, not plated or coated. Used primarily for manufacturing small compression springs in precision instruments and automotive components. Falls under HTS 7217.10.80.60 due to its high carbon content, round cross-section, and sub-1mm diameter.

Alternative Classifications

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

7217.10.20.00Same rate: 35%

If containing less than 0.6% carbon

Lower carbon content shifts classification within the same not-plated round wire heading but different subheading.

7229.90.10.00Same rate: 35%

If made of stainless steel

Stainless steel wires fall under Chapter 72 heading 7229, regardless of carbon content or diameter.

7318.15.20Same rate: 35%

If imported as finished springs

Products further worked into springs are classified by function under Chapter 73, not as raw wire.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify carbon content certification (≥0.6%) via mill test reports to avoid reclassification to lower carbon wires

Ensure precise diameter measurement documentation; sub-1mm tolerance is critical for this statistical suffix
