Alternative Classifications

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

7217.10.80Same rate: 35%

If not plated or coated with zinc

Uncoated low-carbon round wire in same size range falls under 7217.10 as nonalloy steel wire without surface treatment.

7217.20.30.00Same rate: 35%

If diameter under 1.0 mm

Smaller diameter galvanized low-carbon wire is classified separately in 7217.20.30 based on size specification.

7308.90.95Same rate: 35%

If further worked into fabricated fencing mesh

When manufactured into finished fence panels or mesh, it becomes structures/products of Chapter 73 rather than raw wire.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain mill test certificate verifying carbon content below 0.25% and exact diameter measurement between 1.0-1.5 mm

Ensure zinc coating thickness documentation complies with ASTM A123 or equivalent standards to avoid reclassification

Declare precise weight percentages; common pitfall is misstating carbon content leading to audits
