Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not plated or coated with zinc
Uncoated low carbon round wire shifts to the non-galvanized subheading in the same tariff line.
If further worked into barbed wire
Barbed or twisted wire for fencing is classified as strand wire under heading 73.13, not basic wire.
If diameter less than 1.5 mm
Thinner round galvanized wire falls into the separate subheading for smaller diameters.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify zinc coating thickness and uniformity via mill test certificate to confirm classification
• Provide chemical analysis proving carbon content below 0.25% to avoid reclassification to higher carbon wires
• Ensure diameter measurement documentation as customs may inspect for 1.5mm minimum
