Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 7217.90.50
Galvanized Steel Fence Wire
Galvanized wire of nonalloy steel, typically 12-16 gauge, used for agricultural fencing and boundary enclosures. It falls under HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire of iron or nonalloy steel that is not plated or coated with base metal other than zinc, but features zinc galvanization which aligns with common classifications for such fencing products in this subheading. Diameter generally under 1.5 mm for standard applications.
Welded Steel Reinforcement Wire
Low-carbon nonalloy steel wire, 0.8-1.5 mm, used in welded wire mesh for concrete reinforcement. HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire; supplied straight for mesh fabrication, not pre-welded fabric. Meets concrete reinforcing specs but imported as individual wire.
Baling Wire for Hay Bales
Heavy-duty 15 gauge galvanized nonalloy steel wire for agricultural hay baling machines. Classified HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire suitable for automatic tying systems. High tensile strength but nonalloy composition.
Craft Wire 20 Gauge Black
Fine 20 gauge (0.8 mm) black annealed nonalloy steel wire for floral arrangements, model making, and DIY crafts. HTS 7217.90.50 covers retail craft wire as other nonalloy not specifically treated. Packaged in small retail hanks.
Trellis Support Steel Wire
14 gauge (2 mm) nonalloy steel wire for garden trellises and plant supports. HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire; green powder coat optional but basic steel version classified here. Straight lengths for garden retail.
Rebar Tie Wire 18 Gauge
18 gauge (1.2 mm) black annealed wire specifically for tying reinforcing bars in concrete construction. HTS 7217.90.50 classification for other nonalloy wire used in building. Double loop pull tie format standard.
Galvanized Aircraft Cable Wire
7x7 strand galvanized nonalloy steel wire rope, 1/8 inch, for aircraft mooring and guy wires. HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire though stranded; individual wire components nonalloy. High strength for aviation ground support.
Florist Stem Wire 22 Gauge
22 gauge (0.64 mm) green painted nonalloy steel wire for securing flowers and stems in arrangements. HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire; paint coating minimal per further-worked note. Retail floral industry standard.
Concrete Mesh Tie Wire
16 gauge vinyl coated nonalloy steel wire for securing welded wire mesh in concrete forms. HTS 7217.90.50 covers base wire; thin PVC coating not changing material heading. Construction accessory product.
Model Railroad Track Wire
24 gauge pure nickel-plated nonalloy steel wire for model train track power feeds. HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire though plated; minimal nickel for conductivity. Hobby industry product.
Vineyard Trellis Wire 12.5 Gauge
12.5 gauge (2.5 mm) high-tensile galvanized nonalloy steel wire for vineyard and orchard trellis systems. HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire for agriculture. 180,000 psi minimum strength.
Stainless Steel Substitute Wire
Nonalloy steel wire coated to mimic stainless appearance, 14 gauge for railing systems. HTS 7217.90.50 as base nonalloy wire; coating decorative only. Architectural trim product.
Annealed Binding Wire 16 Gauge
Soft annealed low-carbon steel wire, 16 gauge (1.6 mm diameter), used for tying rebar in construction and general binding applications. Classified under HTS 7217.90.50 as other nonalloy steel wire not in coil form or specifically coated beyond basic annealing treatment. The annealing process softens it for easy bending without further working.
Black Annealed Steel Wire for Crafts
Black annealed nonalloy steel wire, 18-22 gauge, flexible for arts, crafts, and jewelry making. HTS 7217.90.50 covers this as other wire not otherwise specified, with annealing as the primary treatment fitting 'other' nonalloy category. Supplied in straight lengths or small hanks for retail.
Spring Steel Wire 1.2mm
High-tensile nonalloy steel wire, 1.2 mm diameter, for manufacturing compression springs in automotive and machinery. Falls under HTS 7217.90.50 as other wire; while high carbon, it doesn't meet alloy/tool steel definitions in chapter notes. Patenting heat treatment distinguishes it for spring applications.
