Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If woven into finished fencing mesh
Fabricated wire cloth or mesh is classified as chain link or other fencing products.
If not in true wire form but as profiled strip
Semi-finished profiled shapes may classify under flat-rolled products if not fully drawn.
If assembled into structural steel components
End-use in fabricated metal structures changes classification to Chapter 73.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify hot-dip vs electro-galvanizing in entry docs as coating method affects durability claims; include coating mass (g/m²) per ISO 1461; measure width precisely as fencing wire borders flat/round classifications
