Galvanized Low Carbon Steel Fence Wire
Zinc-coated wire made from nonalloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon, used for agricultural fencing and boundary enclosures. It falls under HTS 7217.20.60.00 as wire of iron or nonalloy steel plated with zinc and containing low carbon content. The galvanization provides corrosion resistance for outdoor applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If stranded or twisted into rope or cable
Stranded wire configurations for fencing are classified as chain link fencing or barbed wire under heading 7313, not individual wire.
If not plated or coated with zinc
Uncoated low carbon steel wire falls under 7217.10, as plating determines the specific subheading.
If containing 0.25% or more carbon
Carbon content threshold separates low-carbon wire (7217.20.60) from higher-carbon variants in the same zinc-coated category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify carbon content certification below 0.25% and zinc coating thickness via mill test reports to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact wire diameter and tensile strength; common pitfall is misclassifying as higher carbon under 7217.20.45
• Provide evidence of nonalloy composition to prevent shifts to stainless steel Chapter 72 headings
