Galvanized High-Carbon Steel Spring Wire 1.8mm from Germany
Round galvanized wire with 0.6% or more carbon content and a diameter of 1.8 mm, classified under HTS 7217.20.45.80 due to its zinc coating, high carbon composition, and size exceeding 1.5 mm. This wire is commonly used in manufacturing compression and extension springs for automotive and industrial applications. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance while maintaining the high tensile strength from the carbon content.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon content ≥0.6% and zinc coating thickness to avoid reclassification
• Ensure diameter measurement documentation as exact size determines subheading
• Watch for over-declaring carbon levels which could trigger anti-dumping scrutiny
