Galvanized Steel Binding Wire 16 Gauge from China
Round wire of nonalloy steel, plated with zinc, used for binding rebar in construction projects. It falls under HTS 7217.30.45 as iron or nonalloy steel wire coated with another base metal (zinc), round cross-section, not specifically provided for elsewhere. Diameter typically 1.6 mm, tensile strength suited for construction tying.

Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate verifying nonalloy steel composition and zinc plating thickness to confirm HTS 7217.30.45 classification
• Ensure wire diameter and coating type documentation; common pitfall is classifying as stainless steel under Chapter 72 heading 7223
• Declare exact tensile strength and gauge to avoid reclassification as concrete reinforcing wire under note (c)
