Annealed Low Carbon Steel Wire from Mexico
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.

Import Tips
• Include annealing process certification to prove 'further worked' status without changing basic classification
• Test for alloy elements; even trace amounts can shift to 7229 series
