Galvanized High-Carbon Steel Wire for Lock Wire from China
Round galvanized steel wire with 0.6% or more carbon content and diameter between 1.0-1.5 mm, used for safety wiring in aerospace and automotive assemblies. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance while the high carbon enables superior tensile strength. Classified under HTS 7217.20.4560 due to its nonalloy composition, specific carbon content, plating, and dimensions.

Import Tips
• Certify exact carbon content via mill test certificate as ≥0.6% is required for this subheading
• Measure and document wire diameter precisely (1.0-1.5 mm) to avoid reclassification to adjacent sizes
• Verify zinc coating uniformity through adhesion tests to meet 'plated or coated' criteria
