Products classified under HTS 7217.30.60.00

Electrolytic Zinc Plated Low Carbon Music Wire

Precision low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) with electrolytic zinc plating for musical instrument strings and small springs. HTS 7217.30.60.00 due to plating and nonalloy low-carbon specs.

Zinc-Aluminum Coated Low Carbon Steel Bale Wire

High-durability low carbon (<0.25%) steel wire coated with zinc-aluminum alloy for agricultural balers, resisting harsh field conditions. Classified under HTS 7217.30.60.00 for base metal coated low-carbon nonalloy wire.

Galvanized Low Carbon Steel Binding Wire

Thin galvanized steel wire with less than 0.25% carbon content, plated with zinc for corrosion resistance, used primarily for binding rebar in construction. It falls under HTS 7217.30.60.00 as wire of nonalloy steel, plated or coated with another base metal (zinc), and specifically containing low carbon. The plating enhances durability for outdoor applications.

Zinc-Coated Low Carbon Steel Fence Wire

Low carbon steel wire (<0.25% carbon) coated with zinc plating for rust prevention, commonly used in agricultural fencing and garden trellises. Classified under HTS 7217.30.60.00 due to its nonalloy iron/steel composition, base metal plating, and low carbon content distinguishing it from higher carbon wires.

Nickel-Plated Low Carbon Steel Electrical Wire

Soft low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) electroplated with nickel for conductivity and corrosion resistance in low-voltage electrical applications. HTS 7217.30.60.00 applies as plated nonalloy steel wire with low carbon, excluding alloy or high-carbon variants.

Copper-Clad Low Carbon Steel Guy Wire

High-tensile low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) clad with copper plating for telecommunication poles and structural guy lines, offering conductivity and strength. Classified in HTS 7217.30.60.00 as base metal (copper) coated nonalloy low-carbon wire.

Zinc-Plated Low Carbon Steel Craft Wire

Flexible low carbon steel wire (<0.25% carbon) with zinc plating, sold in spools for jewelry making, crafts, and floral arrangements. HTS 7217.30.60.00 covers this plated nonalloy low-carbon wire for retail use.

Alloy-Plated Low Carbon Steel Spring Wire

Low carbon (<0.25%) steel wire plated with zinc-iron alloy for enhanced corrosion resistance in light-duty springs and clips. Fits HTS 7217.30.60.00 as nonalloy base with base metal plating and low carbon.

Terne-Plated Low Carbon Steel Tying Wire

Low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) with terne coating (lead-tin alloy, but base metal per schedule) for tying bales and packages in agriculture. HTS 7217.30.60.00 for plated low-carbon nonalloy wire.

Tin-Plated Low Carbon Steel Annealing Wire

Low carbon (<0.25%) steel wire tin-plated for use in annealing processes in metalworking, providing solderability and oxidation resistance. It matches HTS 7217.30.60.00 for plated nonalloy low-carbon iron/steel wire.
