Products classified under HTS 7217.20.75.00
Hot-Dip Galvanized Utility Wire
Thick zinc-coated (hot-dip process) nonalloy steel wire for utility poles, guy wires, and general outdoor stays. Classified in HTS 7217.20.75.00 as other zinc-coated wire not precisely matching gauge-specific codes. Heavy coating (80-120g/m²) ensures longevity.
Zinc-Coated Steel Spring Wire
Patented or drawn zinc-coated nonalloy steel wire for compression/extension springs in machinery. Falls under HTS 7217.20.75.00 as general other coated wire, prior to spring forming. Coating prevents stress corrosion.
Galvanized Steel Lath Wire
Ribbed or plain zinc-coated nonalloy steel wire for plasterboard lath systems in construction. HTS 7217.20.75.00 for other zinc-coated wire used in building interiors. Prevents rust in damp curing conditions.
Galvanized Steel Fence Wire
Zinc-coated wire of nonalloy steel, typically 12-16 gauge, used for agricultural fencing and boundary enclosures. It falls under HTS 7217.20.75.00 as wire of iron or nonalloy steel plated or coated with zinc, not specifically excluded under other subheadings. The hot-dip galvanization provides corrosion resistance for outdoor applications.
Zinc-Coated Steel Tying Wire
Galvanized nonalloy steel wire, usually 16-18 gauge in coils, used for tying rebar in construction or baling materials. Classified under HTS 7217.20.75.00 as other zinc-coated wire of iron or nonalloy steel, distinguished from specialized subheadings by general utility. The zinc plating prevents rust during storage and use.
Galvanized Steel Bale Wire
Heavy-duty zinc-coated nonalloy steel wire in straight lengths or coils for securing hay, straw, or scrap metal bales. It matches HTS 7217.20.75.00 as other plated or coated wire, not fitting narrower categories like fine wire or specific gauges. Corrosion protection suits agricultural and recycling uses.
Zinc-Coated Low Carbon Steel Wire
Electro- or hot-dip galvanized wire of low carbon nonalloy steel (C<0.25%), round cross-section over 1.5mm diameter, for general fabrication. HTS 7217.20.75.00 covers this as other zinc-plated nonalloy wire not specified elsewhere. Provides sacrificial corrosion protection.
Galvanized Steel Vineyard Trellis Wire
High-tensile zinc-coated nonalloy steel wire (typically 2.2-3.15mm diameter) for supporting grapevines and orchards. Falls under HTS 7217.20.75.00 as general other zinc-coated wire, valued for rust resistance in humid environments. Meets agricultural end-use without special exclusions.
Electro-Galvanized Annealed Steel Wire
Soft annealed nonalloy steel wire with electrolytic zinc coating, 1.6-5.0mm diameter, for mesh weaving or springs. HTS 7217.20.75.00 applies to this other category of plated wire, where annealing improves ductility. Thin uniform coating suits indoor fabrication.
Galvanized Steel Mesh Weaving Wire
Zinc-plated high-carbon nonalloy steel wire (C 0.6-0.8%) for welded wire mesh production in concrete reinforcement. HTS 7217.20.75.00 captures this as other coated wire before mesh assembly. Balances strength and corrosion protection.
