Products classified under HTS 7217.90.50.30
Low Carbon Steel Spring Wire
Music wire grade low carbon (<0.25% C) nonalloy steel wire for small compression springs and wireforms. HTS 7217.90.50.30 covers this high tensile strength wire suitable for coiling. 0.2-2.0mm diameters standard.
Low Carbon Steel Mesh Weaving Wire
Soft black annealed low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) specifically for industrial mesh weaving looms. Nonalloy composition per HTS 7217.90.50.30 for other wire suitable for further fabrication. 18-26 gauge for screen production.
Extra Low Carbon Steel Welding Wire
ER70S-6 grade extra low carbon (<0.25% C) nonalloy steel wire for MIG welding applications. HTS 7217.90.50.30 classifies bare wire before flux/slag addition. Supplied on spools for industrial welding.
Low Carbon Steel Fence Wire
Class 1 galvanized low carbon steel wire (<0.25% carbon) for agricultural fencing and field boundaries. Meets HTS 7217.90.50.30 criteria as nonalloy iron/steel wire not otherwise specified, with minimal carbon for ductility. Sold in 4-12 gauge coils.
Galvanized Low Carbon Tie Wire
16 gauge galvanized tie wire made from <0.25% carbon nonalloy steel for securing construction materials. Classified HTS 7217.90.50.30 as other low carbon iron/steel wire not fitting plated/coated exclusions. Standard 3.5 lb coils for job site use.
Bright Drawn Low Carbon Steel Wire
Precision bright drawn nonalloy steel wire with <0.25% carbon for mechanical springs and clips. HTS 7217.90.50.30 covers this high surface quality wire suitable for precision forming. Available in 0.5-3.0mm diameters.
Low Carbon Steel Bale Ties
Heavy duty low carbon steel (<0.25% C) bale ties for agricultural baling machines, nonalloy composition. While fabricated, base wire classification under HTS 7217.90.50.30 applies when imported as wire-formed ties not further worked per chapter notes. Double loop design for cotton/recycled material baling.
Phosphated Low Carbon Steel Wire
Phosphated surface treatment on <0.25% carbon nonalloy steel wire for cold forming and fastener production. HTS 7217.90.50.30 includes this 'further worked' wire per chapter note definitions (chemical surface treatment). Improves lubricity for heading operations.
Oil Tempered Low Carbon Wire Rod
No, this is wire, not rod. Correcting: Oil coated low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) for tire bead construction. Nonalloy steel wire with lubricant coating per HTS 7217.90.50.30. Critical for rubber-to-metal bonding in tire manufacturing.
Low Carbon Steel Cable Armouring Wire
Profiled low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) for electrical cable armouring protection. Nonalloy steel wire HTS 7217.90.50.30 even with trapezoidal profile, as deformations not meeting concrete reinforcing definition. Z-shaped for interlocking cable protection.
Low Carbon Steel Staple Wire
1018 grade low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) for industrial stapling and fencing staple production. HTS 7217.90.50.30 nonalloy wire optimized for cold heading into staples. Bright or galvanized finish available.
Low Carbon Steel Netting Wire
Galvanized low carbon (<0.25% C) nonalloy steel wire for poultry and garden netting production. HTS 7217.90.50.30 other wire suitable for weaving into hexagonal mesh. Flexible for knotting applications.
Low Carbon Steel Binding Wire
Galvanized low carbon steel wire used for binding rebar in concrete construction, containing less than 0.25% carbon by weight. This nonalloy steel wire falls under HTS 7217.90.50.30 as it is iron or nonalloy steel wire not plated or coated with other materials beyond basic galvanization and meets the low carbon specification. Commonly supplied in coils for construction sites.
Annealed Low Carbon Steel Wire
Soft annealed wire of nonalloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon, used for mesh weaving and light fabrication. Classified under HTS 7217.90.50.30 due to its low carbon content and lack of alloying elements, distinguishing it from higher carbon or alloy variants. Typically provided in 16-22 gauge for flexibility.
Drawing Quality Low Carbon Steel Wire
High ductility 1008 grade low carbon steel wire (<0.25% C) for cold heading and wire drawing operations. HTS 7217.90.50.30 applies to this nonalloy steel wire suitable for further mechanical working. Supplied in patenting or bright annealed finish.
