Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not plated/coated
Plain low-carbon round welding wire without coating uses the uncoated subheading.
If further worked into tube/pipes
Post-plating forming into tubular wire shifts to Chapter 73 fittings.
If imported as complete electrodes
Assembled electrodes with flux coating are Chapter 83, not raw wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify plating is base metal (not precious); provide spectrographic analysis
• Coil weight declarations must match; discrepancies trigger audits
