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.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7217.10.80Same rate: 35%

If plated or coated with zinc beyond basic galvanization

Plated or coated wire moves to 7217.10 regardless of carbon content per chapter hierarchy.

7217.90.10.00Same rate: 35%

If containing 0.25% or more carbon

Carbon content threshold separates low carbon (7217.90.50) from other nonalloy wire.

7229.90.10.00Same rate: 35%

If made of alloy steel

Alloy steel wire classified in Chapter 72 heading 7229, not nonalloy steel heading 7217.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify carbon content certification (<0.25%) via mill test reports to avoid reclassification to higher carbon codes

Ensure documentation specifies nonalloy composition and excludes alloying elements over specified limits
