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.
