AISI 302 Stainless Steel Round Wire 0.8mm
Round wire of AISI 302 austenitic stainless steel with a diameter of 0.8 mm, used primarily for springs and fasteners. Classified under HTS 7229.90.5016 as other alloy steel wire, round cross-section, diameter less than 1.0 mm, not further worked beyond drawing. Meets alloy steel definition due to chromium and nickel content.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If stainless martensitic or ferritic alloy
Stainless steel alloys (Chapters 72 note) with specific Cr content classify under 7222 for other bars/rods/wire, not 'other alloy steel' in 7229.
If further worked (e.g., coated or polished)
Chapter note defines 'further worked' including polishing or coating, moving it from drawn wire (7229) to processed wire (7228).
If sold as finished hook or eyelet component
Wire formed into fasteners or hooks becomes fabricated metal products under Chapter 73, not raw wire of Chapter 72.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificate verifying alloy composition (Cr, Ni content) and diameter measurement to confirm <1.0 mm classification
• Ensure wire is not coated or further worked (e.g
• no plating) to avoid reclassification under different subheadings
• Declare exact diameter and cross-section as round; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to audits
