Alternative Classifications

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

8311.10.00.00Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If flux-cored welding electrodes

Completed flux-core wire classified as welding electrodes, not base wire.

7217.10.20Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If carbon content <0.6%

Lower carbon welding wire uses 7217.10 provisions for non-high-carbon.

7229.20.00Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If alloy steel welding wire

Stainless/alloy filler wires classified under appropriate alloy headings.
