Products classified under HTS 7217.30.30.00
Galvanized Low-Carbon Steel Fence Wire
Round wire of nonalloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon, plated with zinc, and diameter of 2.5 mm, used for agricultural fencing. Classified under HTS 7217.30.30.00 due to its round shape, base metal coating, and low carbon content meeting chapter note criteria for nonalloy steel. Not further worked beyond plating.
Zinc-Coated Low-Carbon Steel Tie Wire
Round zinc-plated nonalloy steel wire, 1.6 mm diameter, under 0.25% carbon, used for securing rebar in construction. Fits HTS 7217.30.30.00 as plated round wire of specified size and low carbon nonalloy steel. Excludes deformations qualifying as reinforcing per U.S. notes.
Tin-Plated Low-Carbon Steel Annealing Wire
Round tin-coated nonalloy steel wire of 2 mm diameter and <0.25% carbon, for annealing processes in metalworking. HTS 7217.30.30.00 applies to its base metal plating, round cross-section, and low-carbon nonalloy composition. Not qualifying as tool steel or other special alloys.
Nickel-Plated Low-Carbon Steel Spring Wire
Round nickel-coated nonalloy steel wire, 1.8 mm diameter, <0.25% carbon, preconditioned for spring forming. Classed in 7217.30.30.00 for plated round low-carbon wire, prior to further fabrication into springs. Distinguishes from heat-resisting or ball-bearing steels.
Terne-Coated Low-Carbon Steel Bale Wire
Round terne (lead-tin)-plated nonalloy steel wire, 1.75 mm dia., <0.25% C, for baling hay and straw. Fits 7217.30.30.00 as other base metal coated round low-carbon wire. Not universal mill plate or high-strength per notes.
Aluminum-Coated Low-Carbon Steel Guy Wire
Round aluminum-plated nonalloy steel wire, 3 mm diameter, <0.25% carbon, for utility pole guy strands. HTS 7217.30.30.00 for plated round wire specs matching low-carbon criteria. Distinguished from concrete reinforcing deformations.
Lead-Coated Low-Carbon Steel Armature Wire
Round lead-plated nonalloy steel wire 1.5 mm dia., <0.25% C, for armature binding in motors. Classed 7217.30.30.00 due to base metal coating on low-carbon round wire. No insulation or further working applied.
Zinc-Plated Low-Carbon Steel Craft Wire
Round zinc-coated nonalloy steel wire, 2 mm dia., <0.25% carbon for floral/arts crafts. HTS 7217.30.30.00 matches plated round low-carbon wire parameters. Retail packaging doesn't affect wire classification.
Copper-Clad Low-Carbon Steel Welding Wire
Round copper-plated nonalloy steel wire of 2.2 mm diameter, <0.25% carbon, for MIG welding applications. HTS 7217.30.30.00 covers its base metal coating on low-carbon round wire. Excludes razor blade or chipper knife steel compositions.
