1.2 mm High-Carbon Spring Steel Wire
Round wire of nonalloy steel with 0.6% or more carbon content, diameter 1.0-1.5 mm, not plated or coated. Used primarily for manufacturing mechanical springs in automotive suspensions and industrial machinery. Falls under HTS 7217.10.80.75 due to its specific carbon content, round cross-section, and diameter range without surface coatings.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If diameter less than 1.0 mm
Smaller diameter high-carbon round wire falls under the preceding subheading for finer gauges.
If plated or coated with zinc or other metal
Plated versions of this wire are classified under the galvanized or coated headings in 7217.20.
If made of alloy steel rather than nonalloy
Alloy steel wire with similar specs moves to Chapter 72 alloy headings like 7229.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificate verifying carbon content ≥0.6% and exact diameter measurement to confirm classification
• Ensure wire is free of plating, coatings, or polishing beyond basic drawing to avoid reclassification under other subheadings
