Products classified under HTS 7229.90.10.00
AISI 1095 High-Carbon Flat Alloy Steel Wire
Flat-rolled wire of high-carbon alloy steel (AISI 1095) with thickness under 1.5 mm and width up to 10 mm, used for springs and cutting tools. Classified under HTS 7229.90.10.00 as flat wire of other alloy steel, not meeting specific tool steel definitions in chapter notes. It features precise flat dimensions produced by rolling.
Spring Steel Flat Wire ASTM A228 Music Wire
High-tensile flat music wire per ASTM A228, made from oil-tempered alloy steel, used in springs and clips. Falls under HTS 7229.90.10.00 as flat wire of other alloy steel, with rectangular cross-section narrower than thick. Excludes chapter-specific high-strength or tool steel definitions.
Stainless Alloy 302 Flat Wire for Fasteners
Condition A 302 stainless flat wire (0.03" thick x 0.125" wide) for staple and clip production. HTS 7229.90.10.00 covers this as other alloy steel flat wire, not qualifying as razor blade or ball-bearing steel per notes. Rectangular cross-section defines it as flat wire.
Alloy 5160 Flat Wire for Automotive Leaf Springs
Chromium-molybdenum 5160 alloy flat wire (1.5mm x 8mm) for leaf spring manufacturing. Classified HTS 7229.90.10.00 as other alloy flat wire, meeting general alloy criteria but not tool/heat-resisting steel notes. Used in suspension systems.
EN1.4310 Austenitic Stainless Flat Shaped Wire
Precision flat shaped wire in EN1.4310 (AISI 301 derivative) for weaving and filtration. HTS 7229.90.10.00 as alloy flat wire of other types, rectangular profile under 0.76mm thick. Excludes chapter note razor blade steel specs.
Tool-Grade Alloy Flat Wire for Saw Blades
