Tin-Plated Low-Carbon Steel Welding Wire 0.8mm

Round welding wire made from nonalloy steel containing less than 0.25% carbon, plated with tin for corrosion resistance and smooth feeding in MIG welders. Diameter measures 0.8 mm, suitable for automotive body repairs and thin sheet metal fabrication. Classified under HTS 7217.30.4511 due to its low carbon content, round shape under 1.0 mm, and base metal plating.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7217.10.80Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If not plated or coated

Unplated or uncoated low-carbon round wire falls under 7217.10, as plating determines the specific subheading.

7217.30.45.50Same rate: 17.5%

If diameter 1.0 mm or greater

Wire diameter threshold separates subheadings within 7217.30.45; >=1.0 mm moves to .4550.

7229.90.10Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If alloy steel composition

Nonalloy steel is Chapter 72 heading 7217; alloy steel wire shifts to Chapter 72 heading 7229.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificate confirming carbon content below 0.25% and exact plating composition to avoid reclassification

Declare precise diameter measurement; CBP may inspect samples for <1.0 mm compliance

Ensure plating is base metal only (e.g

tin, zinc); precious metal coatings shift to different subheadings
