1.0% Carbon Welding Wire from Japan
High-carbon nonalloy steel wire with 1.0% carbon content, drawn for specialized welding electrode applications requiring high hardness deposits. HTS 7217.90.50.90 covers this other category as it exceeds 0.6% carbon threshold and lacks alloying elements. Used in hardfacing applications for wear resistance.

Import Tips
• Include welding wire specification (AWS class) and carbon analysis; declare if flux-cored (may affect classification)
• Ensure no copper flashing exceeding 'further worked' threshold
• Verify not alloy steel which would be 7229
