Galvanized Zinc-Coated Medium Carbon Round Steel Wire 0.8mm
Round steel wire with 0.25-0.6% carbon content, plated with zinc, and diameter of 0.8 mm, used for manufacturing springs and fasteners. Classified under HTS 7217.30.45.20 due to its nonalloy steel composition, base metal plating, round cross-section, and specific carbon range under 1.0 mm diameter. Meets chapter definitions for plated wire without further working beyond coating.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not plated or coated with base metals
Unplated medium carbon round wire under 1.0 mm falls under 7217.10 as non-coated nonalloy steel wire.
If alloy steel composition exceeding nonalloy limits
Wire with alloying elements beyond nonalloy steel definitions moves to Chapter 72 alloy steel headings.
If imported as finished screws or fasteners
Products further manufactured into headed/fastened articles are classified by function, not as wire.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificate verifying carbon content between 0.25-0.6% by weight and exact diameter under 1.0 mm to avoid reclassification
• Declare plating material (e.g
• zinc) precisely; mismatches lead to audits under base metal coating provisions
• Ensure no 'further worked' treatments like polishing beyond plating, as per chapter notes, to prevent shifting to higher headings
