Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If coated with zinc (galvanized)
Zinc-specific coating has separate subheading from other base metals.
If alloy steel with Cr/Mo elements
Meets tool steel note definitions, shifting to Chapter 72 alloy wire.
If insulated for electrical use
Insulated wire becomes insulated electrical conductor under Chapter 85.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify tin as 'other base metal' plating; electrolytic vs hot-dip affects declaration
• Ensure wire is drawn to final round shape without patterns in relief
• Label coils clearly with HTS code, diameter, and carbon specs for CBP review
