7217.30.15.60/Galvanized Flat Steel Wire for Cable Binding/Mexico

Galvanized Flat Steel Wire for Cable Binding from Mexico

Flat wire of nonalloy steel, plated with zinc, measuring approximately 1.6mm thick by 5mm wide, used for binding and securing electrical cables in construction. Classified under HTS 7217.30.15.60 as flat wire of iron or nonalloy steel plated or coated with other base metals (zinc), not meeting high-strength specifications. The flat cross-section and base metal plating distinguish it from round wire or uncoated products.

Import Tips

• Verify plating composition via lab testing to confirm zinc coating meets 'other base metals' criteria and avoid reclassification

• Provide mill test certificates documenting nonalloy steel composition and flat dimensions to support HTS 7217.30.15.60 entry

• Watch for rust/discoloration allowances - no duty reduction per Chapter 72 notes even if plating shows minor corrosion pre-entry
