Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ball-bearing steel per note (h)
Ball-bearing steel with specific low-impurity composition classifies separately.
If non-alloy equivalent
Similar flat-rolled profiles in non-alloy steel fall under Chapter 72 non-alloy wire.
If shaped for specific structures
Flat wire components for structures may classify as parts of structures.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Certify exact alloy 5160 composition and flat cross-section measurements
• Distinguish from round spring wire to maintain flat wire classification
• Declare HTS accurately to avoid assessment under higher-duty spring subheadings
