Alternative Classifications

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

7213.91.30Same rate: 35%

If containing indentations, ribs, or grooves produced during rolling

Deformed bars/rods for concrete reinforcement fall under 7213 per U.S. note (c), changing from plain wire classification.

7229.90.10Same rate: 35%

If made of alloy steel rather than nonalloy

Alloy steel wire (e.g., with added chromium) shifts to Chapter 72 alloy headings like 7229.

7313.00.00Same rate: 35%

If twisted into strand or rope configuration

Stranded wire or cables, even of nonalloy steel, are classified under 7313 as finished wire products.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify wire diameter and tensile strength via mill test certificates to confirm nonalloy composition and avoid misclassification as high-strength steel

• Provide documentation proving no plating or coating; common pitfall is residual oils mistaken for coatings

• Declare exact gauge and use; binding wire often scrutinized for rebar rod confusion under note (c)
