Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not plated or coated
Unplated high-carbon flat wire falls under the non-plated category in the same heading.
If alloy steel composition
Flat-rolled alloy steel products with high carbon move to Chapter 72 alloy steel headings.
If further worked into finished barbed wire strands
Finished barbed wire products are classified as strand wire articles rather than semi-finished wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon content exceeds 0.6% by weight and plating composition
• Ensure flat wire dimensions are documented as Customs may measure cross-section to confirm flat profile
• Avoid misclassification as round wire; include technical drawings showing rectangular cross-section
