Silico-Manganese ER70S-6 Welding Wire

Round welding wire with diameter 1.5 mm, made from silico-manganese steel containing less than 0.20% carbon, over 0.9% manganese, and more than 0.6% silicon. Specifically formulated for electric arc welding in MIG processes, providing excellent deoxidization and weld puddle stability. Falls under HTS 7229.20.0015 due to its precise chemical composition and suitability for arc welding applications.

Alternative Classifications

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

7229.90Lower: 10% vs 35%

If carbon content exceeds 0.20%

Higher carbon silico-manganese wire moves to 'other' alloy steel wire category outside specific low-carbon subheading.

8311.10.00.00Same rate: 35%

If coated with copper or other welding flux

Coated welding wire classified as cored wire products in Chapter 83 rather than base alloy steel wire.

7229.20.00Same rate: 35%

If diameter exceeds 1.6 mm

Larger diameter silico-manganese welding wire falls under different size-specific statistical reporting number.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide chemical analysis certificates confirming <0.20% C, >0.9% Mn, >0.6% Si content at entry

Include manufacturer specs verifying suitability for electric arc welding to avoid reclassification

Ensure wire diameter ≤1.6mm is documented; common pitfall is incorrect measurement leading to higher duty codes
