Zinc-Coated Low Carbon Binding Wire
Galvanized wire with under 0.25% carbon used for tying rebar in construction or securing bales. Classified in HTS 7217.20.60.00 due to its nonalloy steel base, zinc plating, and low carbon for ductility. Ideal for applications requiring flexibility without brittleness.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbon content 0.25-0.6%
Slightly higher carbon increases strength for different uses, shifting to adjacent subheading.
If further worked into nails
Once formed into nails or staples, it moves from wire (7217) to articles of iron/steel (7317).
If made of alloy steel
Alloy additions like chromium would classify under Chapter 72 alloy steel wires.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include annealing process details in documentation; soft annealed wire must still meet low carbon specs
• Avoid common error of declaring as tool wire if tensile strength exceeds typical binding specs
• Test for zinc coating uniformity to comply with ASTM A641 standards during customs exam
