Alternative Classifications

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

7223.00.10Same rate: 35%

If diameter under 0.25 mm

Finer wire shifts to smaller diameter subheading within the same round wire category.

7223.00.90.00Same rate: 35%

If not round cross-section (e.g., square or shaped)

Non-round stainless wire classified separately from round wire in heading 7223.

7222.11.00Same rate: 35%

If alloy tool steel like razor blade steel

Specific tool or razor blade steel compositions fall under chapter 72 alloy steel wires, not stainless.

Import Tips & Compliance

Certify exact diameter measurement (0.25-0.76 mm) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification to adjacent size subheadings

Provide chemical composition analysis confirming stainless steel status per Chapter 72 notes to prevent duty disputes

Declare if 'further worked' (e.g

coated); uncoated drawn wire qualifies here—common pitfall is misdeclaring polished wire
