Products classified under HTS 7217.30.75.00
Galvanized Zinc-Coated Steel Binding Wire
High-tensile steel wire plated with zinc for corrosion resistance, commonly used for binding rebar in construction projects. It falls under HTS 7217.30.75.00 as wire of nonalloy steel coated with another base metal (zinc) that is neither tin-plated nor terne-plated. The 'other' category covers such general-purpose coated wires not specified elsewhere.
Nickel-Plated Steel Fence Wire
Nonalloy steel wire coated with nickel for enhanced durability and weather resistance in agricultural fencing. Classified under HTS 7217.30.75.00 as 'other' plated or coated wire of iron or nonalloy steel with base metals excluding tin or terne. The nickel plating provides corrosion protection without altering the base steel composition.
Copper-Clad Steel Trolley Wire
High-strength nonalloy steel core clad with copper for electrical conductivity in overhead trolley systems for trains. HTS 7217.30.75.00 applies to this 'other' base metal coated wire, where copper cladding counts as coating with another base metal. It meets nonalloy steel specs without special alloying elements.
Zinc-Aluminum Alloy Coated Steel Guy Wire
Nonalloy steel wire coated with zinc-aluminum alloy for superior corrosion resistance in utility pole guying. Falls under HTS 7217.30.75.00 as 'other' base metal coated wire, with the alloy coating treated as a base metal plating per chapter notes. Used in telecommunications and power line support.
Tin-Free Nickel-Plated Steel Electrolytic Tin Plate Alternative
Electrolytically nickel-plated nonalloy steel wire used as substitute for tin plate in can manufacturing. HTS 7217.30.75.00 covers this as other base metal (nickel) coated wire, distinct from tin-plated variants. Provides similar corrosion resistance for food packaging wire forms.
Aluminum-Clad Steel Transmission Wire
Steel wire clad with aluminum for overhead power transmission lines, balancing strength and conductivity. HTS 7217.30.75.00 includes this as other base metal (aluminum) coated nonalloy steel wire. Excludes high-strength steel per U.S. note definitions.
Brass-Plated Steel Piano Wire
Nonalloy steel music wire plated with brass for acoustic instruments like pianos. Under HTS 7217.30.75.00 as other base metal (copper-zinc alloy) coated wire. Brass enhances solderability without qualifying as alloy steel.
Zinc-Coated Steel Bale Ties
Heavy-gauge nonalloy steel wire galvanized with zinc for securing cotton bales and recycling bundles. HTS 7217.30.75.00 for other plated wire, excluding deformed or tin-plated types. Provides rust prevention during storage and transport.
Cadmium-Plated Steel Control Cable Wire
Nonalloy steel wire cadmium-coated for aircraft control cables, offering lubricity and corrosion protection. Fits HTS 7217.30.75.00 as other base metal coated wire. Cadmium meets base metal definition without alloying the steel core.
Lead-Coated Steel Armoring Wire
Nonalloy steel wire coated with lead for cable armoring in marine applications. Classified in HTS 7217.30.75.00 as other base metal coated wire, where lead plating provides sacrificial corrosion protection. Meets definitions excluding special steels like high-strength or tool steel.
