ERNiCrMo-3 Welding Wire from Canada

Round alloy steel welding wire with diameter 1.2 mm, containing less than 0.20% carbon, over 0.3% nickel, and molybdenum, designed for electric arc welding of nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys. Classified under HTS 7229.90.50.08 due to its specific chemical composition and suitability for arc welding applications. Meets the criteria for low-carbon, high-nickel/molybdenum content in round wire form.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates verifying carbon <0.20%, Ni >0.3%, Mo >0.08%, and arc welding suitability to avoid reclassification

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

Certify as 'other' non-specialty alloy to prevent shifts to tool steel or high-strength categories under Chapter 72 notes
