Alternative Classifications

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

7217.20.30.00Same rate: 35%

If carbon content under 0.25 percent

Lower carbon wire (less than 0.25%) falls into the preceding subheading within the same zinc-coated round wire category.

7217.10.80.45Same rate: 35%

If not plated or coated with zinc

Uncoated or differently coated medium carbon round wire under 1.0 mm diameter is classified in the non-zinc coated heading.

7229.90.10.00Same rate: 35%

If alloy steel composition

Wire meeting alloy steel definitions (e.g., added chromium or other elements per Chapter 72 notes) shifts to Chapter 72 alloy steel headings.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact carbon content via mill certificates to confirm 0.25-0.6% range; ensure zinc coating thickness meets ASTM A641 specs; declare diameter precisely as under 1.0 mm to avoid reclassification
