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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not plated or coated
Uncoated round low-carbon wire ≥1.5mm falls under 7217.10, as plating moves it to coated category.
If alloy steel composition
Alloyed versions with specific elements exceed nonalloy steel definition per chapter notes.
If sold as finished barbed wire
Barbed or twisted configurations become articles of iron wire under Chapter 73.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificate confirming carbon content below 0.25% and exact diameter measurement
• Verify plating is base metal (e.g
• zinc) not exceeding further worked definitions; declare thickness
• Avoid misclassification as concrete reinforcing by ensuring no ribs, indentations, or deformations
