Galvanized Low Carbon Steel Binding Wire from Canada
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.

Import Tips
• Verify carbon content certification below 0.25% and plating thickness to meet HTS 7217.30.60.00; request mill test reports from suppliers
• Ensure plating is zinc or other base metal (not precious); common pitfall is misclassifying as uncoated wire under 7217.10
• Provide evidence of nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification to stainless steel chapters
