Alternative Classifications

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

7217.20.30.00Same rate: 35%

If carbon content below 0.6%

Lower carbon wire in same size/coating moves to preceding subheading with different rates.

7229.20.00Same rate: 35%

If alloy steel (e.g., chromium addition)

Any alloying per chapter note (e) shifts from nonalloy 7217 to alloy 7229 wire.

Import Tips & Compliance

Aerospace customers require traceability - maintain full mill certification chain from melt to coating

Zinc coating must be 'plated or coated' per note, not just 'galvanized' terminology
