Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If specifically zinc coated
Zinc plating pulls to dedicated zinc subheading despite 'other base metals'.
If cut to short lengths for tools
Short segments become tool parts under Chapter 82.
If plated then imitation jewelry
Further worked into articles shifts to base metal jewelry.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Even craft/retail wire classified by material/form, not end-use
• Small spools ok; bulk vs packaged same heading
• Carbon content label mandatory
